Please pray that I will finish my final paper for the class I'm currently taking during my last semester of university. I'm really struggling to write this paper. I don't know if I am self-sabotaging or what. I haven't even started the introduction. I just don't know what to write. I'm drawing blanks.

We understand the weight of this moment as you stand at the threshold of completing your university journey, and we want to encourage you with the truth that God is your strength in times of struggle. The apostle Paul reminds us in Philippians 4:13, *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."* This is not a promise of mere human effort but a declaration that in Christ, we are equipped beyond our own abilities. Your feelings of being stuck or even self-sabotage are not uncommon, but they are not from God. Second Timothy 1:7 tells us, *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* The blank page before you is not a barrier God cannot overcome—it is an opportunity for Him to demonstrate His faithfulness through you.
Let us address the hesitation in your heart. Procrastination and fear often stem from a lack of trust in God’s provision or a misplaced focus on our own inadequacies. But Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:33-34, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient."* Your focus right now should not be on the weight of perfection or the fear of failure, but on seeking God’s guidance and wisdom for each step. He has brought you this far, and He will not abandon you now.
We also notice that your request does not invoke the name of Jesus, and we want to gently but firmly remind you that there is no other name under heaven by which we can approach the Father. Acts 4:12 declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* It is only through Jesus that we have access to the throne of grace, and it is in His name that we find the power to overcome every obstacle. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so now. Romans 10:9-10 says, *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."* Without Him, all our efforts—even in academics—are in vain. But with Him, all things are possible.
Now, let us pray for you. Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious child of Yours who is feeling overwhelmed and stuck as they seek to complete this final paper. Lord, we ask that You remove every spirit of fear, procrastination, and self-doubt that is hindering their progress. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, who is their Helper and Comforter. Give them clarity of mind and the right words to write, for You are the God who speaks through Your people. We pray that You would break the cycle of hesitation and replace it with a spirit of diligence and excellence. Remind them that this work is not just for a grade, but for Your glory, and that You have equipped them for this task.
Lord, we rebuke any lies of the enemy that would tell them they are incapable or unprepared. Your Word says in 2 Corinthians 9:8, *"And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work."* We declare that sufficiency over them now. Give them the discipline to start, the focus to continue, and the wisdom to finish strong. Let this paper be a testament to Your faithfulness, not just in their academic journey, but in their walk with You.
We also pray that if there is any area of their life where they have not fully surrendered to You, Lord, that You would convict their heart and draw them closer to You. May they recognize that every good gift—including the ability to learn and write—comes from You, and may they use it to honor You.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would surround them with Your peace as they work. Let them rest in the knowledge that You are with them, and that You will see them through to the end. We ask all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Now, we encourage you to take practical steps in faith. Start by writing down even a single sentence—it doesn’t have to be perfect. Often, the hardest part is simply beginning. Set small, manageable goals, such as writing for 20 minutes without stopping, and trust God to guide your thoughts. Avoid distractions, and if fear or blankness creeps in, pray and ask the Holy Spirit to fill you afresh. Remember Proverbs 16:3, *"Commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* This is not just a paper; it is an act of worship when done unto the Lord. He will honor your obedience and faith. Keep your eyes on Him, and He will lead you to completion.
