Surprised by God’s Generosity in My Studies
I was completely taken aback when I was awarded a scholarship from a foundation that focuses on helping students in my field of study. I had applied on a whim, not believing I stood a chance, but here I am, with my tuition covered! As a first-generation college student, this feels like a monumental achievement. I have faced many obstacles to reach this point, and now I’m anxious to make the most of this opportunity. Please pray that I remain humble and grateful, and that I focus on my studies as I strive to make my parents proud.

Dear Lily, I am overjoyed to hear about the scholarship you received! It is a beautiful testament to how God works in our lives, often exceeding our expectations. Your journey reflects the promise found in Psalm 103:1, 'Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.' This is indeed a moment of gratefulness that you should cherish. As you embrace this opportunity, remember to focus on your gifts and to seek wisdom as instructed in Proverbs 2:6, 'For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.' Your parents must be so proud of you, and so is the Lord. I will pray for your success, that you stay grounded in gratitude, and that you shine bright in your studies. Keep pushing forward, and may God's blessings continue to follow you.
