“The Lord will guide you always, he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fai.”l
– Isaiah 58:11
“I cannot take this anymore!”, Bobby exclaimed as he slumped over with tired eyes and exhaling deep long sighs. The loads of assignments and exam prep had now become a gut-wrenching abyss of overwhelm.
You might have similar experience.
It really does take a lot of drive and motivation for students to get through demanding curriculum. Discipline and enthusiasm are requisite to be on par with the high standard we each set for ourselves.
Totally burn out.
Praise God that He is always around us to give us new grace new strength. We have hope in the Lord Jesus. The Lord guide us always, he will satisfy our needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen our frame. As we draw from the Lord, communing and fellowshipping with Him daily, our spirit is refreshed. We will be like a well watered garden like a spring whose water never fail.
GPAs, SATs, ACTs, IBs, IGCSEs, mid-terms – these will not consume us, because The Lord Himself strengthens us. Let us not wrestle ourselves down by trying to meet to the worldly standard. Let us choose instead, to be balanced in our lives; setting the pace of life in right order. Let us always put fellowshipping with God as first place, being diligent in our learning and faithful to which we are called to be – We are a well watered garden because we drink from Him.
Prayer: Dear Lord, life can really choke me if I am not careful, if I allow myself to get sucked into the expectation of the world. Help me Lord, to draw from you, to commune with you more. That my life can be satisfied because I drink from you. I am a well watered garden. I am blessed. Thank You Lord. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.
