God,

I will never be able to thank you enough times, or in the right ways for everything you have done for me. But, as a college student, I've seen you work in my life in so many more ways than I was ever able to see before. I'm not perfect, and I fail, week after week, to make enough time to read and think about the Word, and to praise you. Yet, in all of the times that I am imperfect, you are so forgiving and understanding.

College is one of the hardest, most stressful times. Not a day goes by when I'm not stressed out about something. Yet, without fail, God, you are there to reassure me that everything will work out. You remind me that "I can do all [this] through him who gives me strength" (Philippians 4:13). Even on the worst days, I feel your presence in the hugs that my friends give me, and the reminder that an awful day is only one day.

College is also one of the most amazing and wonderful times. Amazing friendships, relationships, and memories are formed during college, and on my happiest days, I don't thank you enough for the amazing life you have blessed me with. Even on my worst days, I don't often enough see the beauty and gift of a life you have given me.

Thank you, God, for never giving up on me. Thank you for forgiving me when I sin, day after day, and for never allowing me to forget about how wonderful my life truly is, even on a bad day.

Love always,

A college student
