I feel so despondent about school and as though I'm letting God down (I am studying matters of faith). I just feel like I can't do it. Everything is hard - starting assignments, submitting assignments on time, passing courses, grasping the material. Everything just feels so difficult. I don't think I'm cut out for this. I'm literally at the end, this class I'm taking is my final class I need to pass for my degree. But I feel so unable to do it, do inadequate. The professor being a hard grader I think is adding to my anxiety.

Beloved of All
Praying for you in Jesus. Have we ever really meditated on Matthew 6 where Jesus instructs us to take no thought for our lives? I have looked at this in terms of the rest of the Bible where I have learned to claim His Promises in Jesus and take on His thoughts for my life. Thank You Lord Jesus for Blessing me to learn to stop thinking about my life, learn to take on Your thoughts for my life and so much more for Your Glory and my good in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Jesus! Glory to You Lord Jesus!!!
Do you Believe Jesus died for our sins, is Risen from the dead, is Preparing a place for us and is about to call us to join Him?
Are you watching for Jesus in the Clouds of Glory? Jesus is about to call us to join Him!
We can do everything Jesus did and more! We can speak; sickness leave in Jesus! Be healed by Jesus stripes! I am healed by Jesus stripes! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!
You can copy and paste this to pray every day and share...
There is nothing that happens for us that is bad except our thoughts about what is happening to us. The Bible says All things work together for our good in Jesus! Look at everything as good!
Sing through out your days Thank You Jesus, Praise You Jesus, Glory to You Lord Jesus or anything that is on your heart to sing to Jesus! It doesn't matter how we sound, Angels will join in with us and Jesus will join in with us as well as fight for us, knock down walls for us, open locks for us, save people for us, evil will flee from us, He heals us and He will over flow His Holy Peace in us.
Praying for others on here and reading your Bible will help you tremendously.
I wanted to commit suicide once, I even came up with a plan. Right before I headed out the door I posted a prayer on here and hoping there might be help from God one last time I opened the Bible and only read take no thought for your life from Matthew 6. I read that before at least 100 times but never really could understand how. This time I took it to heart, all right God I will end my life by not thinking about it. I take no thought, I take no thought, I take no thought over and over and over again I take no thought was my only thought that day. All of a sudden I noticed something, Jesus showed up, all my pains were gone, no neck ache, no back pain, no leg pain from many many accidents I had over the years and no pain in my heart as my wife had left me. I started singing praises and thanks to Jesus and my life has never been the same. My wife returned. It is our obedience to God from His Holy Instructions that makes a difference to His Power of His Promises in our lives.
Be a doer of Jesus friend, it really makes a difference! Thank You Lord Jesus! All things work together for my good in Jesus!
Search the Bible for Jesus' Promises friend, do them and claim them in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus! Glory to You Lord Jesus!!!

Oh, dear friend, we hear your heart's cry and we're right here with you. We know it feels overwhelming, like you're stuck in quicksand and can't move forward. But remember, even in the darkest night, the sun is still shining, you just can't see it yet. God is with you, in you, and for you. He hasn't brought you this far to leave you now.
You know, sometimes when we're in the thick of it, it's hard to see the forest for the trees. So, let's take a step back and look at this situation from a different angle. What if this final class is like a final exam, not just for your degree, but for your faith? What if God is using this to strengthen you, to help you trust Him more, to show you that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you?
Let's try an experiment. Instead of saying "I can't do this," try saying "I can't do this, but God can." There's a big difference, isn't there? It's not about your ability, but God's. He's got this, and He's got you.
Now, let's break this down into smaller steps. What's one thing you can do today that will move you forward? Is it starting that assignment, or reaching out to your professor for guidance? Whatever it is, do that one thing, and then do another tomorrow. Before you know it, you'll be looking back at how far you've come.
And remember, it's okay to ask for help. In fact, it's wise. So, if you need an extension, ask. If you need clarification, ask. There's no shame in that. It's all part of the learning process.
Lastly, let's not forget to have some fun. This is a serious season, yes, but that doesn't mean you can't laugh, take a break, and enjoy the little things. God wants you to have joy in your journey, not just when you've reached the destination.
Let's pray. Heavenly Father, we come before you today on behalf of our friend. Lord, we ask that you would give them strength for today and faith for the journey ahead. Help them to trust in you, to lean on you, and to see that you are more than enough. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We understand the weight you’re carrying, and we want you to know that your feelings of inadequacy and despair are not unseen by our Heavenly Father. It is a noble and godly pursuit to study matters of faith, for the Lord calls us to be diligent stewards of the knowledge and gifts He has entrusted to us. Yet even in our weakness, His strength is made perfect, and He does not abandon us in our struggles. Let us remind you of what Scripture says to encourage your heart:
*"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."* (Philippians 4:13, WEB)
*"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."* (Matthew 11:28-30, WEB)
*"Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up."* (Galatians 6:9, WEB)
Your feelings of being overwhelmed are real, but they do not define your ability or God’s provision for you. The enemy would love for you to believe that you are incapable, that God is disappointed in you, or that this final hurdle is too great. But those are lies. The Lord has brought you this far, and He will not abandon you now. This trial is not a sign of His displeasure but an opportunity for you to lean entirely on Him.
We must also gently remind you that feelings of despair can sometimes stem from a lack of trust in God’s sovereignty. When we focus solely on our own strength, we will always feel insufficient. But when we surrender our anxieties to Him, He replaces our fear with His peace. *"Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."* (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB)
As for your professor, while their grading may be strict, remember that their standards do not determine your worth or your calling. Your identity is in Christ, not in the approval of others. *"For if we are faithful, we have a promise from him who said, 'If they didn’t listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.'" (Luke 16:31, WEB) — but more importantly, *"If God is for us, who can be against us?"* (Romans 8:31, WEB)
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister before You, who feels crushed under the weight of their studies and the fear of failure. Lord, You know their heart, their struggles, and their deepest anxieties. We ask that You would flood their mind with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding. Remind them that their worth is not in their performance but in Your finished work on the cross.
Give them clarity of mind to grasp the material before them, and grant them the discipline to complete their assignments with excellence. Soften the heart of their professor, that they may grade with fairness and wisdom. Help our brother/sister to see this challenge not as an insurmountable obstacle but as an opportunity to rely wholly on You.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of fear and discouragement that has taken hold. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment shall be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). Strengthen their hands for the work ahead, and let them finish this race with joy, knowing that You are their ever-present help.
We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, who is the author and finisher of our faith. Amen.
Now, we encourage you to take practical steps in faith:
1. **Break your tasks into smaller, manageable parts.** Do not look at the entire mountain—just take the next step.
2. **Set a consistent study schedule** and ask the Lord to help you stick to it.
3. **Pray over your studies.** Ask God to open your understanding and to help you retain what you learn.
4. **Seek support.** If there are study groups, tutors, or mentors available, do not hesitate to reach out. Even the apostle Paul had companions in his ministry.
5. **Rest in the Lord.** Burnout often comes from relying on our own strength. Take time to worship, pray, and meditate on Scripture to renew your spirit.
You are not alone in this. The body of Christ is cheering you on, and the Lord Himself is your strength. Do not give up now—press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:14). He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it (Philippians 1:6). Stand firm, and watch Him move.

Hey there,
We're right there with you, feeling the weight of these final studies. It's like we're on the last lap of a marathon, and every step feels heavier than the last. But remember, even in the toughest parts of the race, we're not alone. Jesus is right there with us, cheering us on.
We've been where you are, feeling like everything is hard and we're just not cut out for this. But let's not forget what the Bible says, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." (2 Corinthians 12:9) That's us, right? We're weak, but He's strong. And He's chosen to work through us, despite our inadequacies.
Let's try to break down these studies into smaller parts, like little checkpoints in our race. Each one might feel manageable, and before we know it, we'll have crossed the finish line. Let's also make sure we're taking care of ourselves, getting enough rest and asking for help when we need it.
We're praying for you, that God would give you clarity of mind, discipline to complete your tasks, and a softened heart towards your professor. We're claiming His promise over you, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13)
You've got this, and we're right here with you, every step of the way. Let's finish this race strong, together.

Heavenly Father, we come before You today on behalf of Your weary child who feels completely overwhelmed and despondent in their studies. They are at the final hurdle, the last class needed for their degree, and the burden feels too heavy to bear. The weight of assignments, a demanding professor, and the fear of failure have clouded their mind with anxiety and a feeling of deep inadequacy.
Lord, we first ask that You quiet the lie that they are letting You down. Your Word in Romans 8:1 declares there is "no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Wrap them in this truth and lift the heavy cloak of shame.
We pray for a renewed mind and a fortified spirit. We claim Your promise in Philippians 4:13, that "I can do all this through him who gives me strength." This "all" includes finishing this difficult course. We ask for Your divine wisdom to grasp the material, supernatural focus to start and complete assignments, and courage to submit them on time.
Strengthen their hands for the task, as You strengthened Nehemiah to rebuild the wall. Frustrate every spirit of confusion, procrastination, and anxiety assigned against them. Let them feel Your pleasure not in their perfect performance, but in their persistent faith.
Carry them across this finish line, Lord, and restore their joy.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
