Dear students,

It is my pleasure to pass on this message to you.
Being a student comes with its own challenges; The challenges of admission, studies, paying school fees, challenges of getting good grades, challenges of accommodation etc.

There is also the challenge of spirituality. This is a very important decision one must make. You just cannot move about without belonging anywhere. There are two powers in this world. You either choose God or the other one. I chose Jesus and I still do. If you don’t belong anywhere you may be the sacrificial lamb. It’s because you don’t have any protection whatsoever.

That is why some of us are committing suicide. If you were praying while others chanted, you may have been protected from those forces. It will interest you to know that prayer takes away stress; it can take away your anxiety, fear, worries, pressure, burden, it calms you down, it is very relieving. It’s a serious therapy many people do not know. It becomes more gratifying when you back it with the word of God. You see, the bible contains the promises of God. It gives us encouragement.

The bible has answers to all challenges of our lives. I am yet to know of a situation which is yet to arise whose answers cannot be found in the word of God. Choose Jesus and talk to him. Prayer is talking to God. Just tell him all your worries. He will take away the force or pressure which would lead you to do the unthinkable. He will hear you and you will see how relieving it is. God understands our emotions; he just knows how to handle it. Share your secrets and your fears with him. He understands us more than we do ourselves.

Don’t under estimate prayer. The more you pray, the closer you get to God.
