Hi...
My name is Clint and I'm a college student from Indiana. I grew up on a dairy/hog farm and am currently majoring in AgriBusiness Management.

These last 6 weeks, stress, anxiety, depression, and loneliness have almost gotten the best of me. I've been in a downward spiral desperately praying for change and some kind of hope for my future. I felt drawn to join a new church on campus and I'm slowly realizing what Jesus is able to do for me.

I guess i joined this web site because i'm looking for some help. I feel so distant from God and so pessimistic about my future. I just don't know how to get through all my school work, how to feel close to Jesus, and how to serve Him. I need relief and I know that Jesus is the answer...but how do I work through all my personal struggles and how do I dig myself out of this hole? I'm not a selfish person, but i need so much help right now and don't know how to ask for it and how to get closer to Jesus.

Hey Clint and welcome to CC. The only thing i've experienced that is closest to your situation is overwhelming homework when I was in grade 11. It was so much that I actually broke down crying about the second month from starting. At the time, Ididn't know what would make help me get through and I hadn't come on this site. Here are some bible verses that might help you: Psalm 46, Psalm 55:22, Matthew 6:25-34, Phillipians 4:6-7. Take your time and read through these and just talk to God about what you're going through. When it cmes to work, I just do each one step by step and you will eventually get through it all. Hope this helps. I will be praying for you.

God Bless!!

Hi Clint! =) I've been where you are many many times. One thing that I've found is that the harder you try to dig yourself out of that hole, the deeper you'll find yourself getting. lol. Let go and let God. I know thats not as easy as it sounds, but its not impossible. God can take your bad situations and use it for His glory and show you just how loving and strong He is...but you have to trust Him; everyday with everything. Spend alot of time in prayer and reading God's word. The one who saved you will finish what He started in you and He rewards those who earnestly seek Him, so dont give up!!! You can message me any time if you want to talk
