Lord, I've been putting if off, but I can't delay much longer. I have to make the important college decision. I'm excited and afraid, too. I want to go one minute and the next I want to stay right where I am. I don't know what you want me to do. Help me to choose well. Help me to find what I should do with my life. Give me the wisdom and strength to do the right thing. Amen. -Ann Marie

Dear God, Sometimes I feel like you are calling me. I can almost see you beckoning me to come and follow you. To be honest, I'm not sure I want to, Lord. I don't know if I can give my life to you. How can I leave behind everything I've known? Lord, if you're really calling me to serve on your behalf, show me. Give me the strength to hear your voice and to follow your plan for me. Amen. -Chris

Dear God, Help me know what to do with my life. I'm confused. I want to live my life according to your will and to serve you in whatever I do. But there are so many choices. Please help! - Drew

Lord, please forgive me for making fun of others. Sometimes I feel so insecure with myself that I find things wrong with everyone else, just to make myself feel better. After gossiping about someone, I feel better for a while, but then I feel guilty about it. Sometimes I make fun of somebody without noticing what I'm doing. It's a bad habit, and I know it's wrong. Help me not to get wrapped up in the moment when I'm the center of attention, feeling popular and cool, and make the wrong decision. I want to start following you more closely; I need to start treating others as I would like to be treated. Please forgive me for making fun of others and help me to be strong enough to resist this temptation. Amen. -Anna

God, don't teachers know that their class isn't the only one? I have so much homework tonight I don't know how I'm going to do it all. There are books everywhere-my room looks like the library. I want to do well, but I feel a lot of pressure right now. And when I'm stressed-out, it's hard to focus. My parents want good grades, I just want to pass. Be with me, God. Help me to get through this night! -Kip

Dear God, please help me to be myself. Sometimes I act differently when I'm around others. I'm not exactly sure why; maybe I'm just trying to show off or act cool. Don't ever let me forget that if you wanted me to be different, you would have made me that way. Please help me be myself around others. I like the way you made me and I want everyone to know the real me. -Lori
