My God, my God

You are the creator of the universe. You are the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. You spoke a word and brought creation. You. You are. You are my God. YAHWEH. And I pray your will be done on earth. Kingdom come. Reign on us. Right now, I cry out. I have no idea which way to turn. I know that you are in control. While we sit in this confusion, remind us of who you are. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Bring peace over this land as we wrestle with our emotions. Your timing is perfect. I can’t pretend to try to comprehend the way you orchestrate the world. I don’t understand why things happen. I like to know the big picture. Then I remember you are victorious in the end. You rose from the grave. Even death could not defeat you. So it is in you I find enduring hope. Be with me as we sit in the pain. Give us the strength to sit in the pain. Use this time to show your might. You are God. You are God. You are God. In you, I find hope. I believe no weapon formed against me shall prosper. I believe in angels surrounding and protecting me. I believe you are sovereign King. I believe you can use even the li-lest man to bring victory. You are a provider. You are a protector. Did you not care for the Israelites while they wandered in the desert? I know who you are. I believe in your power. Your will be done in America. Cover this place. Give us peace in this pain. We need you. We need your love. We know you are love. Raise up a generation in love with pursuing you. Give us strength Father. Jesus, bring about the change we so desperately long for, the change we so desperately need. We are longing for your mercy and your grace. We long for your joy, you peace beyond all understanding. Help us put our trust in you. Help us to lean on you. In these uncertain mes, watch our language. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight oh Lord, you are my strength and redeemer. Allow your people to demonstrate the love that comes from you. Give us the desire to act in love. Let us correct and comfort in love. Guide this country Father. We may have a human in office, but we know you are in control. Give us the strength and the heart to speak out in righteous anger against the things that are not of you. We need you like never before. We need you daily. I need you daily. I need you every hour of every day. I thank you for the new opportunities you are giving. I thank you for this great American experiment. I thank you for you. I love you forever.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
