Pray for me, I need guidance, not sure what to do with my life anymore.

[LizzyO]

I'm going into my second semester of my junior year in college and I am a pre med student. Each semester I try my best to progress and get better grades in the science classes but every time I do worse than before. I know I will end up being a disappointment to my parents so I have avoided telling them the grades I am receiving. Even when I try my best and end up with a C in a difficult class they continue to tell me to work harder when I am putting forth my best effort. I don't know what to do anymore or whether I should even be at this University when I believe it is God who led me here. I already had my deposit down for another school when out of no where I received a call from admissions people from the University I attend now to switch my application from nursing to literature science and arts because my application was still competitive and a week later I received a scholarship and admission to the same university - more money than I had received from any other school. I just feel really discouraged right now and I don't know what is wrong with me, whether I'm not intelligent enough for it or if this is not the career path for me. I feel my faith faltering and I feel like God has given up on me. I do believe that everything happens for a reason and everything will reveal itself as a part of God's plan in the future but this has gone on for three years now and I don't even know if it's possible for me to graduate on time if I continue to pursue pre-med. I don't know if someone has put a curse on me to be unsuccessful or if this is all apart of God's plan but my dream of being a pediatrician is looking more and more unattainable and I don't know whether I should continue to dig myself into a hole because my GPA is slipping and this will cause more and more opportunities to not be offered to me. What do I do and are there any verses to read for encouragement and please just pray for guidance and revelation to come to me. Have a blessed day.

Just remember that God really loves you and His plan for you is amazing. God bless you and Jesus is Lord.

Im at university too - Have you thought of chatting to a student counsellor? They will be able to respond to your specific circumstance and performance. Dont be too hard on yourself though. You're doing your best and your passing. Do you know for sure what is is you want? Knowing the goal is always a good starting point. Anyway - wishing you all the best

When I need guidance I close my eyes and imagine a beautiful garden tall hedges surrounding it and I am walk to a white stone bench sit down look down then look up and see Jesus and I send my questions to his flaming heart .Then open my eyes and write down the first thing comes to me not stopping or analyzing it just writing . Jesus as he said is "Always with us " Merry Christmas

 

[Mydreams]

Lord bless LizzyO, and this prayer. In Jesus name, Amen!

 

[Southernscotty]

Dear friend, Take a deep breath and relax a little bit. You are young and you have your whole life ahead. C's are passing and do you know they call a Dr who finished last in his class????? A DR!!!
So you see it is ok. There are going to be those tough times when things seem too much, but if the foundation is Christ Jesus, Then you will be building on the unbreakable.
I pray that your mind gets a rest through the holidays and some of this pressure subsides.
Bless you dear friend.

Dear LizzyO, God NEVER gives up on His children!

I pray that God will give you wisdom in this matter of your education. As long as you are intent on doing His will, He'll make it known to you what His will is....

James 1:5--"Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without criticizing, and it will be given to him."

I pray the Lord provides you with wisdom and understanding for his perfect will for your life. I also pray that you be filled with encouragement and strength to bear these difficulties. St. Paul also provides us a prayer to know the Lord's will if you're interested: Prayer To Know God's Will For Your Life | Christian Forums.

There is nothing wrong with a C grade I’d you are doing your best.

Nursing is Not easy. Maybe your parents don’t realize how difficult it is.

Maybe share with them th rigors of your chosen field.

Sometimes it is our responsibility to explain things to people when they do not completely understand. Maybe they don’t realize how difficult it has been their trying to keep pushing you.

They might not realize that it is hurting you and giving you so much self doubt.

Have that talk with them. Figure out exactly how you will present it to them in advance.

Give them a chance to ‘be supportive’.

God bless.

God could be preparing you for something in the future by your going through this and thriving to complete your degree.

Just because it is hard, doesn’t mean it’s not Gods will for us.

Faith is built. Over time. Sometimes through doing hard things. Cling to God even more through the hardship.

Don’t give up. God is creating in His Children people like His Beloved Son, Jesus. That’s not always an easy road. Christ said we will pick up our cross and follow Him.

Lord, this reminds me of over 40 years ago, where I was not doing well in the classes of algebra and chemistry, although I was acing my zoology classes that I was majoring in.
Instead of becoming a zoologist, I entered the USAF, and eventually became a pastor.
So many more lives have been eternally changed for the better because of dropping out of that college, and later graduating Magnum Cum Laude from a Bible college. I pray for Lizzy, Lord, that You will guide and direct her, and encourage her in the way that You would truly have her go. Provide all that she needs in all the areas of need in her life.
May her life glorify You. Amen.

I pray for you for wisdom and guidance about what is going on now and on how to pursue education in the future. Of course the Father hasn't given up on you. He is "the Father of Mercies" and He loves you.
