End of the Semester Meltdown :(

[Farida]

Ladies it is that time of the semester and I just feel spent. Emotionally, physically and spiritually.

I have lost motivation at this point and find myself staring at my books without getting any work done.

I have also begun to severely doubt my capability in my studies. Finals are coming up, but at the forefront of my mind is a paper due in a week that I just can't seem to crack to the professor's satisfaction.

Our finances are such a mess at this point. In as much as I am grateful that DH finally got a job, we were badly off, trying to recover, and our car accident just drove us down a big hole. The insurance Co. is yet to pay us, and we have been desperately searching for a reliable car.

I needed a new computer but at this point I don't even know when I will get another one. My USBs don't work, my screen is messed up, some keys are missing, it is terribly bogged down, slow and crashes!

I really need some prayers and motivation. I have so much to do and at this point I feel like I can't.

I firmly believe God doesn't take us far only to abandon us. I need encouragement before I throw my hard work away.

Vivmaiko, I will definitely keep you in prayer. Lots of things are going on in your life, but I will pray that you and your husband can take refuge in one another; and also that all of these mishaps will not cause you to become distracted from your studies. If the Lord has called you to this, He will provide for you to persevere successfully.

Oh goodness, I will keep you in my prayers.

I was about to start a similar thread. I've just taken two exams, and I have a huge one that is 50% of my grade and I'm burned out... We'll make to till the end though...

I totally relate. I have comps in a week and if I don't pass I don't graduate this semester. That's on top of all this other work for my classes. I have to make sure my gpa is at least a 3.5. That's not even including other things going on outside of school I have so much stuff to do that I'm seriously lacking motivation. It's so much easier to go on the Internet and act like all this other stuff will just work out on its own...but I know better!

After Monday, I'm going on a huge break from LHCF and FB for a min. Prob til my last final. No more than an hour a day for both...40/20. I have to get this stuff together! So I will be praying for you and you keep me prayed up as well.

It's crazy huh? My paper is 65% of my grade, my other courses, my final is 100% of my grade.

I have finals coming up as well (first year medical student) and I just have to repeat scripture whenever I feel my mind wandering to negativity. I'm looking at God and not the circumstance I know He will not leave any of us going through this struggle. I praise God for the outcome and for the victory of success that we will all receive. I had a meltdown where I just sat around and cried for four days, not doing any work, immobilized by fear of failure. But I know that God has not given me the spirit of fear and He is going to renew me and get me through this phase for His glory! I pray that all of us will make it through. Thank God in advance!

You will be successful. All things work together for good to those that love Him and are called according to His purpose.

Great post! I'm a second year, and sometimes I have to tell myself the same thing.
