Hello all,

I’m a first time poster but check out some of the threads every once in a while. Today, I ran into some pretty big academic problems and would really appreciate some prayer.

I’m a Master’s student at a local university and was hoping to defend my thesis next month so I could graduate in May. However, my adviser returned my first draft today and the results were not pretty. As it turns out, I more or less missed the mark and have a lot - a lot - of work to do to fix what’s wrong with the thesis. My thesis defense has been postponed for several months to give me time to correct the paper, and I’m feeling pretty dejected. A lot of time, work, and stress went into the original draft, and I know it’s going to be the same thing all over again while I’m revising it.

I know I’m a new guy here but I’ve seen how dedicated folks are on here in prayer for those in need, so I would really appreciate your support now.

Thank you!
 
I will keep you in prayer. As my favorite saint Padre Pio says “Pray, hope, and don’t worry.” The Lord will help you. St. Brigid is the patron saint of students so maybe you could try a prayer to her too! Good luck with everything 🙂
 
Lord, Mama Mary, please reward the efforts of maskaggs. Help him to finish his thesis. May the panelists be good and fair to him. And most of all, teach him to trust in you.

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection,
implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions,
but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
Praying to give you strength in your studies and lift you out of depression …
 
You can do it. You’ve got this far! Congratulations for all your academic achievements!
Give yourself the credit!
Now you have some guidelines that you didn’t have previously.
Of course you are discouraged, but may the Lord and you together lift your heart and attain the courage and inspiration to continue with excellence.
It takes longer to launch a ship than a canoe, and maybe your thesis will be a ship!
The effort and research which you have done so far will probably prove it’s worth in your life at some time.
God bless you. 🙂
 
May you be abandoned to the Lord’s merciful love full of confidence in his merciful love. May you not give into anxiety but put all your energy into prayer and good constructive work. You’ve come this far, may you count your blessings and keep going strong. May you get all the help you need and devote enough time to your work so you can score excellently on your thesis paper. May you pray to St. Joseph of Cupertinoe every day for the knowledge, strength, patience, wisdom and time you need to do well on your paper. May God bless all your efforts with a good and high passing grade. You will be in my daily prayers. Peace!
 
Dear Lord bless Maskaggs in his opportunity to amend his thesis, grant that he will follow his examiner’s every advice and come up with a revised thesis that will bring credit to all the efforts Maskaggs has undergone. +Amen.
 
I know this thread is old and very out of date, but I wanted to give an update for those who read it and kept me in their prayers. I successfully defended my thesis on June 15 and thus finished the MA degree at my school. It’s on to a PhD program now, where I’m sure I’ll need about 100 times the prayers 😃
