Prayers and Praises

To the one and only God of this universe, creator of all things

Oh Lord how you have blessed me. I am overwhelmed by your love. Give me a heart like yours to love unconditionally, to even those unlovely.

Thank you God for giving me life. Let me glorify you in everything I do.

Almighty God, thank you for my family. They have taught me how to love, good work ethic, compassion, and selflessness. They have guided me to becoming the woman I am today and for that I am truly grateful.

King of Kings, thank you for blessing me with two godly parents that I can look up to. Let me take their words of wisdom, endless love, their caring hearts, and so many more and reflect those qualities into my life.

Lord of lords, you are good all the time. Let me be a light in this dark wicked world. I will follow you all my days.

Abba, you are always with me. I surrender myself for your glory. Give me boldness to live for you and a voice that speaks confidently words of only truth.

Magnificent creator, you are gracious to forgive. Help me to forgive and not keep records of any wrongs.

There is no one higher or greater than you, God. Help me trust you through trials and through decisions I face now and in the future.

Praise to God for you are constant. Give me ears to listen and a discerning heart. Help me think before I speak, because that’s something that gets me in trouble a lot.

Holy one, I pray I honor you in my life. Teach me to have patience and to control my anger. Especially when my sister takes my clothes without asking.

God, I am astounded by your mercy and grace. Let me use my gifts and talents to bring glory to your name.

Lord, thank you for setting an example. Help me with my selfish heart. Give me a heart of a servant so I may serve as Jesus served. Let me have a mindset to put others before myself at all times. To be considerate of others needs or feelings before my own.

Father, thank you for all the opportunities you've given me. Let me take advantage of them and not get trapped into laziness by watching Netflix and eating cereal all day.

Thank you Jesus, or laying down your life for a sinner like me. I will boast in the Lord. I pray the world will see your life in me.

Amen.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
