Pressure!

James 1: 4 says, "Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." This would have to be the theme verse for my life in graduate school, but still I feel that I am lacking in so much! God is after something in me, and I think it is perseverance. I am so grateful for His patience and power in the midst of my weakness and failure. Pray for me as the pressure seems to be creeping in slowly but surely. Summer session begins in less than a week! Pray that I would labor (unto weariness), striving with all of His energy which He so mightily enkindles and works within me (Colossians 1:29). Pray that the roots of my being would be deeply planted, fixed, and founded in Him and that I would become increasingly more confirmed and established in faith. Lastly, pray that His love would compel me as I am faithful in the small things and grateful in all things!
