Please pray for me about school as I really do not like the class I'm currently taking during my last semester before I get my degree. I don't know how the other class will be (which I will be taking later in the semester) but this one has been difficult. This semester I am retaking two courses (this and the other one which will start later in the semester) that I failed earlier. This current course I am retaking with the same professor that I failed the class with before. This professor does not seem like a nice person and does not communicate well. The subject matter of the class I do not like as it seems to promote compromising the truth of Christian faith even though this is a Christian university. Even the other people in the class seem to be ostracizing me during group assignments. This has not been a good experience for my last semester. Before this, I had had some other negative experiences at this school that made me reconsider pursuing any further education at this school and now I really don't want to. I just want to graduate and leave this school.

We understand the heaviness of your heart as you navigate this difficult season in your academic journey, especially as you seek to honor Christ in all things. It is clear this semester has brought not only academic challenges but also spiritual and relational struggles that weigh on you deeply. Let us first remind you of the truth found in Scripture, which speaks directly to the trials you face. The Apostle Paul encourages us in Philippians 4:13, *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."* This is not merely a verse of empty encouragement but a profound truth—your strength does not come from your own ability, the fairness of your professor, or the kindness of your classmates, but from the Lord Jesus Himself. He is your advocate, your strength, and your peace in this storm.
It is troubling to hear that a class at a Christian university would promote ideas that compromise the truth of the Christian faith. We must remember, however, that even in such environments, we are called to be salt and light, as Jesus teaches in Matthew 5:13-16. *"You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden. Neither do you light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand; and it shines for all who are in the house. Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven."* Your presence in that classroom is not an accident. God has placed you there for a purpose, even if it feels isolating or unfair. Stand firm in the truth, but do so with grace and humility, trusting that the Lord will use your faithfulness for His glory.
The ostracism you’re experiencing from your classmates is painful, but it is also an opportunity to lean into the comfort of Christ, who was Himself despised and rejected (Isaiah 53:3). He understands your loneliness and will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). As for your professor, we are called to honor and respect those in authority over us, even when they are difficult (Romans 13:1-2). This does not mean you must agree with everything they teach or endure unjust treatment silently, but it does mean you should pray for them. Jesus commands us in Matthew 5:44, *"But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you."* This is a high calling, but it is one that reflects the heart of Christ.
We also notice that your prayer request does not invoke the name of Jesus. This is not a small matter, for Scripture is clear that our access to the Father is *only* through the Son. Jesus Himself declares in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* And in John 16:23-24, He says, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."* If you have not already placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so. He is the only One who can save you, sustain you, and intercede for you before the Father. If you have already trusted in Him, then we encourage you to approach the throne of grace boldly in His name, knowing that He hears and answers the prayers of His children.
As for your future, it is understandable that you feel weary and ready to move on from this school. We pray that the Lord would give you clarity and wisdom about your next steps after graduation. Whether He calls you to further education elsewhere or into a different season entirely, trust that He will guide you (Proverbs 3:5-6). Do not let the bitterness of this experience harden your heart. Instead, surrender it to the Lord, asking Him to redeem it for His purposes.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, knowing that You are the God who sees their struggles and hears their cries. Lord Jesus, we ask that You would be their strength in this difficult semester. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding their heart and mind in You (Philippians 4:7). Give them wisdom as they navigate this class, discernment to know how to engage with the material in a way that honors You, and grace to interact with their professor and classmates with love and humility.
Father, we ask that You would expose any lies or ideologies in this class that contradict Your Word. Give our brother/sister the courage to stand firm in the truth, even when it is unpopular. Remind them that their identity is not found in their academic performance or the opinions of others, but in You alone. If they have faced injustice, Lord, we ask that You would vindicate them in Your timing and in Your way.
We pray for their professor, that You would soften their heart and open their eyes to the truth of Your Word. May they encounter the love of Christ through our brother/sister’s faithfulness, even in small ways. For the classmates who have ostracized them, we ask that You would break down walls of division and create opportunities for reconciliation and kindness.
Lord, we ask that You would go before them in the second class they will be retaking later this semester. Prepare the way, give them favor, and grant them success as they seek to honor You in their studies. If it is Your will for them to continue their education elsewhere after graduation, make the path clear. If not, guide them into the next season You have for them with confidence and hope.
Finally, Father, we pray that You would heal any bitterness or resentment that has taken root in their heart because of their experiences at this school. Replace it with Your love, Your joy, and Your peace. Remind them that You are working all things together for their good and Your glory (Romans 8:28).
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is worthy of all praise and honor. Amen.

Hey there,
Just wanted to chime in and say we're right there with you, praying through this tough semester. It's like you're in a storm, and we're holding onto the lifeboat with you, Jesus, right in the middle.
First off, we want you to know that Jesus sees you. He sees your struggles, your loneliness, and your frustration. He's right there with you, every step of the way. Remember, He's not just a warm fuzzy feeling, but the very real God who walked this earth, who was despised and rejected, just like it feels for you sometimes. He gets it. And He's right there, holding you up.
Now, about that class. It's tough, we know. But remember, you're not just there to pass the time or get a grade. You're there to be salt and light, like Jesus said. That means, even when it's hard, even when they don't understand or agree with you, you're there to shine. To shine with love, grace, and truth. It's not easy, but that's what makes it so important.
And hey, don't forget to ask Jesus for help. He's not just there to listen, He's there to act. He wants to help you, to give you wisdom, to fill you with peace. So, ask away. He's listening.
As for what's next, we're praying for clarity. We're praying that Jesus would guide you, that He'd make the path clear. Trust Him, okay? He's got this.
Keep your head up, friend. We're in this together. And remember, Jesus is right there with you, every step of the way.
Praying for you,
[Your Name]
