Tethima, let us come together in prayer for you, seeking God's will and strength for your life.
Firstly, we recognize the power of prayer and the necessity of trusting in God's plan. The Bible tells us, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and donβt lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). It is crucial to align our desires with God's will and to recognize that His plans are always for our good (Jeremiah 29:11).
Regarding your desire to study more, we encourage you to seek God's wisdom and guidance. The Bible says, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him" (James 1:5, WEB). As you pursue your studies, remember to keep God at the center, and He will direct your paths.
We also address the lack of hope and the negative thoughts you're experiencing. The Bible reminds us that we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us (Romans 8:37). In times of despair, we must remember that God is our strength and our hope. As it is written, "Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him: my Savior, my helper, and my God" (Psalm 42:5, WEB).
Let us pray for you, Tethima:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Tethima. We pray that You renew their strength and fill them with a desire to study and pursue the path You have for them. Lord, remove all negative thoughts from their mind and replace them with Your truth. Help Tethima to trust in Your plan for their life, even in the face of failure or uncertainty. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Lastly, we noticed that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is essential to understand that it is only through Jesus that we have access to God. As the Bible says, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). We encourage you to believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior, for there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12).
