3 Weapons God gives us when going to college Proverbs 22:6(KJV) 6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Philippians 4:6-7 6 Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Jeremiah 29:11-13(KJV)For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Introduction When I began writing this speech the first thing I did was look at the countdown timer I had created for myself so I can see how much more time I got until the burden of high school is over. The timer was at 7 weeks, 19 hours, 20 minutes, and 32 seconds until my official graduation ceremony begins. And for the last couple months each day I would check this timer and I would say to myself I'm so ready to go, I'm ready to get out of Charlotte, I'm ready to get away from my parents I'm ready to get out of North Meck , I'm ready to go. I know i'm not the only one. It seems like when we get this vision of us leaving and going to college and being( to a certain extent) on our own we begin to fantasize and over anticipate and underplay the readiness of college. But as a start to think about it I'm starting to realize that the closer and closer I get to graduation the more and more real this whole scenario is beginning to get I am beginning to see that this next section on my life is truly all on me. I have to rely on myself more than I ever have had to in my life. My parents aren't gonna be there everyday probably not even every month seeing that I am going to be hours away. And the thing is for a lot of us Seniors in here that is the realization of a lot of our situations most of us. Most of us will at least three to four hours away. And for most of us times will get tough, things will get hard, life will knock us down in these next four to five years. But the great thing about the word of god is that it has a solution to every situation we encounter in life. This scripture was a favorite of our reverend pellum as it seemed almost on every week long trip that we had. That Scripture is Jeremiah 29:11-13(KJV)For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I feel like this scripture can carry us through any situation that we are going to face in college and in life. This scripture tells us that any situation that we come across, any hill we have to climb we can give it to God and he will work it out. When you come across a class and you don't know how you're gonna pass remember God has a plan for you. When you're buried in books and you literally feel like giving up just remember god has a plan for you. When you done spent up all of your meal swipes and you got two more weeks left in a month and you have no extra funds to pay for food just remember god has plan for you. When the boy or girl you fell for
