A Letter To God Asking For Help During Second Semester

Please give me the strength and motivation to do so.

God,

The lack of motivation towards the start of the second semester is normal for me. I am mentally and physically tired, but I am almost at the end. It's almost summer. I don’t want to stop walking down the perfect path you have for me.

When I am going along and come upon a speed bump, I want you to help me go over it and keep driving. The papers I have to write and the tests I have to study for are just small speed bumps I have been given by you to make me wiser. With help from you, I can write these papers and gain motivation to study for these tests. I need you here to give me strength and motivation.

I know there will be times when I feel like I am carrying a heavy load. There’ll be times when I feel like the task you have given me is impossible to perform. I pray that you would never put anything on my shoulders that I cannot carry. I hope that if you put me in a certain situation, it’s because you know that I am strong enough to go through it.

When I feel like crying, I pray I can cry to you. When I feel like a failure, I want you to be there to show me how much you love me. I do not want to be a failure and give up. I want you to hold my hand through every second of my life.

I pray that you will seek my heart through my darkest moments. I hope you see me, see my heart, and see my burdens. I want to be able to follow in your footsteps and be free from the doubt. I hope you have the power to calm any storms and waves this second semester may give me.

I want nothing to separate my love from you, not even my lack of motivation. When I have no motivation and when I don't feel good enough, I want you to be there to show me that I am more than good enough.

So, please be with me through the easy and the rough times during this second semester. I promise to be patient with you.

Sincerely,

A college student

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
