Can you share one way that God has been faithful to you recently or something he is teaching you?
Throughout your senior year, there are definitely moments that get overwhelming or that are so busy you feel like you can’t keep up. But through this year, I have noticed how important it is to have a relationship with the Lord and spend time with the Lord. This year I have had to make a lot of big decisions like where I will go to college, what I will major in, who will I live with. And through all that the Lord has been with me, helping me make the right choices. In Isaiah 41:10 it says “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you.” This verse has been my go-to verse during times of worry and stress.
