I feel kinda selfish asking this, but if you PM me or send me a message on AIM (io72000) I'd be more than happy to return the favor -- But if you all wouldn't mind, I would really appreciate you all praying for me.
So far in college I've maintained an all A to A+ average, no thanks to me, but because the Lord has guided me and essentially given me the grades. He has blessed me with intellect, and while I am lazy, he has guided me, enabling me to use this.
I am transferring to a new school next semester, just got housing assignment, and things appear on the up-and-up. However, the Lord has blessed me before, but should He cease even briefly, I already know I'll fall.
I would appreciate, first, prayers helping me get through this summer semester. I must complete these courses to get a scholarship to pay for my housing. Only two classes....but it's summer, and laziness is trying to set in. So far I'm slacking, but trying to pick it up. Without the Lord...I know me too well.
And second, and more importantly, I am transferring to a VERY difficult school next semester. So far everyone I know who attended last year has dropped it. And while I am smart, the Lord gave me that, I will be among others with equal or superior intellect. This is fine, but I want to get through the program with fly colors if possible, and I desperately need the Lord for this. I don't think He would build me up to let me fall, but I know I do sin and deserve worse than this. I simply want Him with me, and I want to continue to be with Him...and I cannot do this without Him. I give Him sole credit for my work. Only through Him could I succeed. I know this. When (I say this with mild confidence) I get through the program, I seek only to glorify Him and credit Him with any achievement I may obtain. But I do need help in the process, and I desperately need Him.
Hope this wasn't too much rambling. Thank you.

Any moment of insecurity is horrible, I know. But you say it yourself - God has blessed you and given you this opportunity for a good reason. He will give you what you need to succeed.
