I've always been pretty confident in my work as a student, but ever since this current semester started (it's only been 3 weeks, but I still feel this way!) I've been feeling doubtful in my capabilities to do good work. Maybe it's senioritis, maybe it's because I'm scared that I coming so close to the end of my undergrad college career since it means I have to have more of a direction with what I want to do with my life. All I know is that I feel SCARED!
I keep reading the Bible and keep going to church, and I am continuously praying to God to help give me more clear direction. I've been feeling like I was on the right path with counseling (which I still want to do), however I've been feeling like I'm not smart enough to complete this final year of school. Garrett of course, tells me that's ridiculous and that I'm very smart, and that I'm just letting my fears get in the way, but I can't help but feel like I'm not cut out to complete such emotionally and academically challenging classes. What's been scaring me is that if I feel this scared three weeks into my final year, how am I going to get through the 12 remaining weeks of this semester? Or the next semester for that matter?
I know the best solution is to keep trying my best and to keep praying to God to give me strength and have more faith and confidence in my capabilities, but for the time being I would still love words of encouragement! Every day I've been looking up various encouraging Bible verses, so if you have some faves, please share them with me!
Love,
Jess
keep praying and pressing forward. life can be tough in different degrees but focus on the Lord. Proverbs 3:5-6 says to 'Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding. in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths'
ReplyDeleteTrust in God and forever acknowledge Him... it will work out. Good luck and i am praying for you!
