I have a prayer request. Right now, I'm really exhausted. I'm having a hard time balancing school, doing something I have no joy in (I'm currently doing band, but I have to finish it out for the year), and I'm trying for flag football. I really just need some prayer for God's peace :)
We are always praying for you guys. So we keep you in our prayers.
I completely understand where you are coming from though. The stresses of school and life can add up after a while and stress us out. I certainly have been feeling the weight of that.
One thing I want to remind you to do is to not forget God in these moments of stress. I have a tendency to become caught up in the day’s activities and what else I have to do. Sometimes I need to force myself to constantly think of how much I need Christ to get me through my day. It humbles me and helps me believe that I couldn’t walk through my day without Him. All of it is possible through Him. Have faith that He will help you endure and that He has provided everything you need during this current time. Christ will help you through your day. He will sustain you.
One thing I would ask you to ask yourself is are you taking on too much? Is there something you could cut out of your life to help you find life more enjoyable? I truly cherish my alone time and have to cut a lot out of my week sometimes just so I can sanely and humbly approach people and situations.
Try and find joy in the midst of struggle. Find that joy to be Christ and cling to Him to help you through your struggles of school, enduring band, flag football, and balancing everything in your life.
Most of all pray. Pray to God that you are frustrated and that you need your heart humbled. Talk to Him. He desires to know you every feeling, and know that it’s okay to convey your anger to Him. He knows it anyway.
Force yourself to lean on God and you’ll find that your heart is actually drawn to God in stressful situations.
