Okay so the real reason I'm posting is because I am again blown away by God's faithfulness. This week is a crazy one--I have four tests in the next two days, and two take-home tests due and limited time to study, and I'm slightly behind because of my sickness (which is pretty much gone at the moment). Every time I come into a week like this I just give it all to God. Literally, sometimes I feel like the amount of work I need to do is humanly impossible--but luckily I don't have to depend on human strength!! I trust God so hard and as a result, I am far less stressed. And here's the cool thing: I think every time I have had a crazy week this semester, he has given me time! Of course he's not going to make one day 28 hours just for me (as nice as that would be), but today one of my classes and a meeting was canceled, giving me at least an extra hour and a half! I just love when God does stuff like that. I just have to be sure to give him some of that time back and do devotions before I start to crack down on studying.
I don't know if that story sounds as cool to you as it is to me, but the point is: Prayer WORKS. I've been praying a lot about this week, and I know people are praying for me (thank God for them!!), and my week is different because of the prayer. Also, it is really encouraging to pray for other people, both for me and for them! Praying is great because God is everywhere I am, I can tell him whatever I want, and he can read my mind! Oh, and God doesn't fail to listen or answer. Pray without ceasing.
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
