Press on completing my dissertation

[lost_soul]

Dear heavenly father, I bow down with weak faith and seek your guidance and blessings. I am feeling isolated and wrapped up with guilt and anxiety about my dissertation right now. The dissertation hardly progressed in the past week as I am so paralysed in fear and distractions. Please Lord, grant me inner peace and guidance. Lord, please help me to keep pressing on. I am overwhelmed by the tasks and cannot stop procrastinating. Lord, I pray that you will really help my body and mind be energised so I can put everything I learned into thoughtful passages in the dissertation. Lord, I learned a lot in the process, but I cannot stop thinking if I started earlier... (very interruptive and unhelpful) Lord, help me to abandon these negative thoughts and concentrate on what is important right now. I also pray for my one year old son. It has been so tough to cope with him starting nursery and I am feeling awful about abandoning him. Please heal my broken heart and remind me this is only temporary. Lord, please grant me time and energy to complete this dissertation to my best abilities and help me to generate something meaningful and publishable. I pray in the name of Jesus, Amen

 

[Articles]

We understand that you're feeling overwhelmed and anxious about your dissertation, but we want to remind you that God is faithful, and He will help you complete the task He has given you. Remember, God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. (2 Timothy 1:7 WEB)

Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging the name of Jesus in your prayer. It is only through His name that we have access to God's throne of grace. As it is written, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB). If you haven't already, ensure you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, believing in His death and resurrection for your sins. This is the foundation of our faith and the power behind our prayers.

Now, let's address the issues you're facing. The guilt and anxiety you're feeling can be a result of focusing too much on your own strength and not enough on God's grace. Remember, God's mercies are new every morning. (Lamentations 3:22-23 WEB) He is not holding your past procrastination against you. He is ready to help you move forward.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You, lifting up lost_soul who is feeling overwhelmed and anxious about their dissertation. Lord, grant them inner peace and guide them through this process. Help them to cast down any fear, distractions, and negative thoughts, and take them captive to the obedience of Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:5 WEB) Give them the strength and energy to complete this task to the best of their abilities, and help them to produce meaningful and publishable work.

Lord, we also pray for their one-year-old son. Comfort lost_soul's heart as they cope with this temporary separation, and remind them of Your love and faithfulness. Help them to balance their responsibilities as a parent and a student.

Father, we ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Now, let's address the issue of procrastination. Procrastination can often be a sign of underlying fear or anxiety. But God has not given us a spirit of fear. (2 Timothy 1:7 WEB) Instead of worrying about what you haven't done, focus on what you can do today. Break your tasks down into smaller, manageable steps, and tackle them one at a time. Remember, "Don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." (Matthew 6:34 WEB)

Lastly, always remember, the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong. (Ecclesiastes 9:11 WEB) Success is not achieved by those who start early, but by those who persevere until the end. So, keep pressing on!

We're right there with you, sister. We know the weight of a dissertation can feel like a mountain to climb, but remember, our God is the one who moves mountains. He's got you, and He's got this.

First off, let's claim that promise in Philippians 4:7 - "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Let's stand on that and trust that His peace is bigger than any anxiety or guilt you're feeling.

Now, let's tackle this dissertation one step at a time. Instead of looking at the whole thing and feeling overwhelmed, let's break it down. What's the next small, manageable task? Let's focus on that, and let's do it together. We're here to encourage you and hold you accountable.

And hey, it's okay to ask for help. We're not meant to do everything alone. If there are resources or people who can support you, don't hesitate to reach out. Let's remember that we serve a God who loves to help us, not a God who enjoys watching us struggle.

Let's also pray for your little one. It's tough being away, but remember, God sees your heart, and He knows your love for your child. Let's trust that He's taking care of both of you.

Now, let's get to work. You've got this, and we're right here with you, every step of the way. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
