I'm not sure where to begin. I usually don't open up

[Demetrius]

I'm not sure where to begin. I usually don't open up or seek help I just pray and keep to myself but I do know that the word tell us that when two or more gather in his name he is there with us (Matthew 18:20). Please bear with me through this long post. I graduated HS in 2011 (Florida) and have always had a dream to be great and play football. I decided to go to California to enroll into community college despite not having money for school or living. In the process of playing for two years and earning an AA degree I was homeless. After graduating in 2013 I headed to Texas tech university to play football on scholarship. Due to NCAA transfer rules I was never really able to play so I sat out of school and football from 2013-2015. During the time one of my brothers passed away and I again faced more adversity. In 2015 I transferred to Michigan to play college football and get my bachelors and am currently still here. My head coach isn't a man of God and knowing the things I've gone through for one reason or another he doesn't like me and has told me I should just give up on my dream. I'm at a cross roads because I'm so hurt and conflicted, I went from being a top recruit in the nation to a man now not knowing what to do. I know God gave me this dream so I chase it with my all but it seems that I encounter trouble every way I turn. I can't just quit, football has helped save my life and given me an opportunity to take care of my family. I have dreams of still going to the NFL but I'm just not sure why I keep struggling and suffering when I'm just trying to do the right things. I want direction from God and to know if I should transfer once again or stay here and keep trying, I don't know if God wants me to play anymore. I just wanted to bring this to you all and ask for you to pray for me, I'm 24 and I just can't quit on myself but I just want some help from God. Thank you for reading and listening and God bless. Any prayer or advice would help

Don't give up on your dream, Demetrius. You need to get planted in a church if you aren't already so that people can rally around you and pray for you. Keep on keeping on. I believe in you. I'm going to pray for a change of heart in your coach. Transferring elsewhere may not be the answer. Push harder than anybody else. Be the first at practice and the last to leave practice. Work harder than anyone else. You have a God given oppurtunity and talent and don't give up on that. Believe that this is the calling that God has put in your life. If its God's calling then it will be fulfilled. Caleb in the bible was 85 when he was still ready to fight which meant that he had consistently maintained himself for all those years. See Joshua 14v10.

Thank you very much for your words of encouragement. I have pushed harder now than I ever have and I'm thankful for your insight and prayer for a change of heart amongst my coach.

Let’s Pray: God in Jesus’ name I lift up all those I love, care about ( especially myself), and the writer of this prayer. God I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless each and every one of us on an individual basis, with what we each stand in need of  and everything that You want us to have (physically, spiritually, financially, mentally, and emotionally).  May we all come to know You better, love You more, and live our lives as an act of worship unto You.  God give Your angels charge over each of us, to protect us from all evil, hurt, harm, and  danger. Protect and vindicate us O Lord.  Remove all the wrong relationships in our lives.  Remove all those in our lives who want to, would try to, and or would drive us from You.  Remove those who would hinder or stop us from reaching our God given destiny. God bless each of us with a made up mind, the desire, wisdom,  knowledge and strength from You to achieve our destiny in Christ Jesus. God bless each of us to live  a victorious abundant successful life in You. For in You we live and have our being.   God please honor this prayer over our lives today, tomorrow, and for always.  Thank You God for answering this prayer with a Yes, So Be It. And It Is So.
