I was extremely stressed out in my first two years in college. The stress to get my work done got so intense that I did not think I could continue studying there.
But as I sat under Joseph Prince’s teachings, my mind began to change. I began to realize that the reason I was stressed was that I was relying on myself to get everything done. I also realized that God loves me and cares about what I care about, and that because of what Jesus has done on the cross for me, my life could be filled with freedom and success.
During the summer, I began to pray about my semester ahead, and in my prayer I would confess that I was going to have a stress-free semester. I also began to confess that the demands of school were not going to master me anymore but I was going to master them by God’s grace.
When the semester started, I continued to sit under Joseph Prince’s life-changing teachings and I continued to pray, placing the semester in Jesus’ hands. That was the best thing I could have ever done!
Jesus took control of that semester and turned things around. He helped me to approach the semester differently and He took the stress away.
I was handing in assignments on time and I was actually learning and not merely doing homework. In a class that I was retaking because I’d failed the previous semester, I even scored an “A.”
That was the first semester in which I was stress-free and experienced major success. When stress and fear knocked on the door of my heart and mind, I would say, “Jesus, stress is at the door, please answer it, Lord.” By the end of the semester, my grades were very satisfying! As a result, I now expect every semester to be glorious in Jesus’ name.
I would like every college student to know that they can turn to Jesus if school is putting a lot of pressure on them or is causing them a lot of stress. He can turn things around.
Thank you, Pastor Prince. Without a new revelation of who God is, I probably would have quit school or had something terrible happen to me due to stress. Thank you for unveiling Jesus in all His beauty.
