I know the feeling! I have to admit, in college, I didn't have a very strong relationship w/ Him. I believed He existed, but that was about as far as it went. I did pray often, but never knew how to listen for him so I constantly felt I was having a one-way conversation. I was involved in campus ministry and we had praise & worship every Tuesday night which I attended as often as possible, but the rest of the week, I wasn't focusing on Him.
Then student teaching hit and I was suffocating! I had a TOUGH teacher I was working with & I was SO stressed out, I'd cry myself to sleep nightly, then get 3 hours of sleep at MOST and do it all over again the next day. I did this for 5 weeks (which felt like an ETERNITY!). My last week of teaching I had two panic attacks! All this time, I would be asking "Why? Why am I being put through this? Why is this so hard?" But I don't know that I ever ONCE took the time to stop & give everything to Him and let Him take care of it for me. When I learned how to do that, it made all the difference in the world! I still forget from time to time, but when I remember to give everything to Him, it's amazing what He can do
Just take it slowly. Read a chapter from the Bible. Pray right before you go to sleep and right when you wake up. Subscribe to an online daily devotional or verse of the day. I do KLove and Air1's verse of the day & they're sent to my email daily. First thing in the morning I check my email, so I always start my day w/ those verses. Before you know it, you'll be spending more and more time with Him and finding that you're able to focus more on everything you have to get done!
Hang in there! As someone who had EVERY LAST THREAD pulled out of her in college, I can assure you that you're going to be just fine!
