Learn how Jesus Christ can help you experience greater hope and joy in your education
All students experience a variety of challenges on their journey to a degree — disappointing grades, overwhelming assignments, financial setbacks, unemployment, or family challenges. Thankfully, when Jesus Christ atoned for the world He experienced every heartache and pain and set back so that He could understand you personally. Here are four ways He can help you during hard times.
1. He weeps with you
2. He knows you
During your education, you might experience hardships and trials outside of school that impact your ability to focus. Ever feel stressed out or unmotivated? Take comfort that the Savior knows you personally. He understands your afflictions and can help lead you to triumph.
As you build a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, He will motivate you to keep moving forward. Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf said, “Our beloved Savior knows where you are. He knows your heart. He wants to rescue you. He will reach out to you. Just open your heart to Him.”3. He offers you hope
You are not alone if you ever feel overwhelmed with assignments and exams, especially near the end of a term. During these stressful times, never forget the power Christ offers through His Atonement. Remembering His power provides hope and will help fuel you through difficult times.
The Savior knows your struggles and will listen to the prayers of your heart. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland taught, “Because Jesus walked such a long lonely path utterly alone, we do not have to do so.”
4. He loves you
As the closest friend and brother you could ever ask for, the Savior wants to have a personal connection with you. He understands your trials and wants to help you become stronger through them. As you reach out to the Savior, He will share His love with you and extend comfort and peace.
