Month 1: Foundation & New Beginnings

Back to School – Trusting God in New Seasons
- Isaiah 43:19 – "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland."

- Colossians 3:23 – "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters."
Overcoming Anxiety – Casting Burdens on Christ

Healthy Friendships – Choosing Godly Companions

As this college devotional journey comes to an end, it is only the beginning of a deeper walk with God. Every challenge, every victory, and every uncertain moment is part of His perfect plan. No matter where this season takes you—whether in academics, relationships, or personal growth—remember that God holds everything in His hands.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT) reminds us:"For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."

There will be moments of stress, doubt, and exhaustion, but God is your strength and guide. When the path ahead seems unclear, trust that He is directing your steps. He has already gone before you.

Words of Encouragement:

You are never alone—God is always with you.
Your faithfulness in the small things will lead to greater blessings.
God’s grace is more than enough for every mistake, every shortcoming, and every weakness.
Keep seeking Him—even in the busyness of school and life.

As you continue forward, take this truth with you: God is in control, He is faithful, and His plans for you are greater than you can imagine.

Final Prayer:

Lord, thank You for this journey. Thank You for every lesson, every challenge, and every opportunity to grow in You. As I step forward, help me to trust in Your perfect plan. Fill me with Your wisdom, strength, and peace. No matter what comes my way, remind me that You are holding my future in Your hands. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

💛 Stay encouraged, keep your faith strong, and trust in God’s amazing plan for your life! 🎓✨
