I'm very stressed out currently, and so are my closest friends. So instead of just saying, "I'm praying", I'm going to write out what I'm praying over you guys, word for word.
Alright?
I really do love you guys, and I know that God will bring us through out problems and struggles. We just have to trust Him.

Hey, God. I'm not really sure how to put this, but I'm overwhelmed. I know you don't give me anything I can't handle, but it seems like I can't do anything right anymore. Lord, be my strength, now more than ever. Help me to look past my problems and to focus on Your Word and your son, Jesus. It's exam time, and I always think about my future. Lord, I don't think I'm ready for what lies ahead of me. I don't know if I can handle the responsibility of...everything. Anything. It's all a mess right now. Lord, help me to see you as the center of my affection.
Lord, I pray that you reveal your grace and presence to my friends as they cry out for You. I pray that you be their strength, their fortress, their stronghold in each of their individual times of need. I know You hear the cries of Your children, and I pray that you shower them with Your mercy, wisdom and grace. Lord, I pray that You comfort them in whatever grief or mourning they might have, and I also pray that you mend their broken hearts. My friends are also going through exams and I know that I am not the only one who questions the future ahead of them but Lord I pray that you remind them of the amazing plans You have for them. Remind them that You are God, and that everything works out according to Your will.
God, I know you put me here on this earth to glorify and praise Your name. I am afraid that I will fail You; that I will fail myself in the effort to please a perfect and just God. But thank you Jesus that you died on the cross to give us salvation; a second chance; a reason to get off the ground and continue to live my life as a testament to your glory.
Hold me close, God.
Please, don't let me go.
Amen.
