Hello all. I’m a sophomore in college and I’m majoring in engineering. In the next couple weeks I have four tests, none of which I feel prepared for, six lab reports to write, and the usual weekly homework associated with my classes. I also have to take a weekend off from school to be a bridesmaid in a wedding back home, so study time is going to even more scarce than it is now. I’ve been so busy, yet I feel like I never get anything done, and I’m feeling very discouraged. I’m not sleeping, I haven’t been going to some of my classes in order to catch up in others, my friends are feeling ignored, and I’ve had to turn down dates with a guy that I’m genuinely interested in because of my crazy schedule.

I know that there are people with much bigger problems and that this phase of my life won’t last forever, but I’m having a hard time seeing further into the future than a day at a time. PLEASE take some time to say a prayer for me, that I may perform well on all of these tests and lab reports, that I may be able to patch things up with this poor guy that I’ve been (unintentionally) avoiding, and that I may be able to manage my time well these next few weeks and be in a general state of well-being.

THANK YOU ALL.
 
Lord, please grant CatholicSioux many graces for temperance, wisdom, joy, faith, hope, and love. Grant her a capacity to organize and manage the duties in her life. Send angels to help with all these enterprises and lead this soul toward the eternal garden of peace by way of every suffering and joy in life in union with your holy Passion. Have mercy, Lord. Our Lady, angels, and saints, pray with us. Amen.

And p.s. just a tip, if you had to turn down a guy who you are still interested in, I think a counter-offer is always helpful to let him know.
 
Praying that the Lord may guide you to do well in your tests.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen
 
Prayers said for an improved sense of well being, knowledge to perform well on tests/labs
and eventually hopefully soon some free time to patch things up with friends.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Just an update:

The power of prayer never ceases to amaze me. I still have a ridiculous amount of tests, reports, and homework to do in these next few weeks, but I feel less anxious and more confident that I’m going to come out of it all OK. Last night I reconciled with the guy that I’ve been unintentionally ignoring, and things seem to be heading in the right direction again. I’m feeling pretty hopeful for the future! Thank you all very much for praying for me, and if it’s not too much, please continue to remember me in your prayers for the next few weeks.

God bless!
