Motivation

Postby aliveinHim » Fri Dec 09, 2011 7:04 am

I'm having a hard time staying motivated in school. It's the end of the semester and I haven't felt like doing anything for the past few days. Studying for finals and getting essays written feels like a heavy burden. Please pray for strength, encouragement, and joy. Also, I've been having horrid nightmares of showing up to classes without having done anything. It's hard being a student :(.
"And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." Ephesians 2:1-7

Thanks guys. I know that I'm not the only one feeling like this.

Praying! I just finished with finals, myself, so I know how hard it can be to study for them!

I know how this feels! I'll be praying!! ^_^ Keep going! I know it's hard, but sometimes you just have to give it that extra push before Winter Break! Also, try to space out homwork evenly, with short breaks in between.

Good luck with getting motivated and all. It's been a while since I've been in your position, but I do remember the end-of-semester funk where I just didn't feel like doing anything. You've just gotta make yourself do get down to business whether you want to or not.

It's hard being a student :(.


I'm really hoping this was intended as a joke of sorts because school is probably the easiest/best time of your life. The demands on you aren't nearly as high as they're going to be once you enter the adult world and I'm going to venture that you probably aren't having to balance a job, rent, car payment, credit card bills, and the various other things that I'm not thinking about right now. Being a student may seem hard at times, but when you look at the bright side, you've really kinda got it made right now.
