While I recognize that I have control over my own efforts like applying for the position/s and building my skills, there are still aspects of the process that are beyond my control. I hope that I receive patience, perseverance, and trust to endure these uncertainties and continue my efforts despite setbacks.

Thank you for your guidance throughout my stay in the Ateneo. While it wasn't an easy journey, I knew that you were always at my back, helping me carry all the burdens I have in my life. Thank you for always reminding me that I am worthy of love. Thank you for giving me the courage to pursue the things that I want. Thank you for surrounding me with people who makes me happy who helps me along with you in my journey. While I have a lot of things that I worry about, I know that you are always with me. While I fear about where I will be in the future, I know that you will guide me. Enlighten me dear Lord with my decisions in life, bless my heart with kindness, and my soul with goodness. Thank you God.

I am unable to leave my comfort zone and pursue opportunities available for me. Even when I get the courage, I back out because I doubt myself. I wish to find the courage to push through with my applications and pursue opportunities outside of my academic responsibilities.

I hope I would be able to dedicate time in caring for myself and spending time with family and friends no matter how busy school gets. To be able to overcome this, a clear and sound mind through Lord's guidance is what I need the most. Assistance in overcoming challenges would also help me be able to balance life better.

As a junior, I often feel pressured to achieve something, because I believe it will give me a bright future ahead. I wish I have enough strength, courage, and motivation to make my life worth living; and I hope that I can fully understand soon that achievements aren't everything in life.

Between managing academics and my home life, I feel lacking in my capabilities. May God keep me away from doubt and give me the grace to understand that I have others to draw guidance and strength from.

It is all the more difficult to manage that I have my future plans to worry about as I am nearing graduation. I pray that I receive guidance to pull through despite all these burden, as well as achieve all I aim for in the midst of these challenges.

I am aware that this path somewhat limits the options I have for my future career path, and I hope that I gain more certainty that this path that I take is not only just for my family, rather it is a responsibility that I would want to carry with me too. During my time in college, I pray for God's presence and comfort as it would give me a sense of reassurance to trust the path that is ahead of me and a sense of gratification that I have this education and this opportunity for my future career.

At times, it can feel suffocating trying to manage them all. I pray for the strength, guidance and wisdom of God to be with me empowering me through each challenge.

I get anxious thinking about whether I am making the right choices right now or if I am really on the right path. I worry about a lot of things these days. What path do I want to take? What kind of person I want to be? How can I can be successful? How can I be happy? Though my heart is uneasy and restless, I hope that the Lord can bestow upon me His love and guidance so that I may find clarity and strength in the midst of all the uncertainties that lies ahead.

Since I was not able to get good profs during enlistment, I suffer the consequences of facing more hardships and turmoil than I prepared myself for. I wish to entrust these worries and struggles to the Lord, and I hope that He will deliver me from these trying times. I need God's grace of wisdom and faith that I may trust in Him and let Him help me become triumphant over failure and loneliness. I also pray for everyone in here to be heard by God and receive the answers that they nee according to what God knows that best suits their situation.

I wish to be able to survive SMEG sem while also reaching that grade requirement I want, and I wish to have the determination and hardwork to support this current dream.

Everyday's challenges (especially the time and financial elements) make this extra challenging and quite frankly pressuring for me.


I seek to receive the grace of overcoming this challenging period and see my dreams through, however imperfect it may be, despite my context and reality as a scholar.

I am worried that I may not be able to survive this semester because most of the subjects are major ones. I'm afraid that I might lose my motivation to excel and end up producing minimal work. I don't want to let go of all the effort I've put in just because I'm scared about this semester. I pray for guidance, strength, and assurance that I will slowly regain my confidence and come back stronger.

My parents aren’t always reliable and often times disappoint me and my sister m in many ways. Because of this I felt like I couldn’t depend on them to do things for me and constantly struggle letting anybody in my life.

In all honestly, I still feel like a child who knows nothing about the world around me and that makes life after college all the more daunting. It is with this anxiety that I pray for guidance and wisdom in order to persevere and take in the unknown with a clear heart and mind.

Truthfully, the future's uncertainty scares me because I don't know if I'm prepared enough to face it, and the thought of being disliked by others tempt me to close myself off. However, praying to God every night and trusting him with my daily life has helped me live through these crosses. I pray for God to help me become more confident and have more trust in myself and take away the unbeneficial worries that consume my mind.

I am carrying the crosses of anxiety and depression. These burdens weigh heavily on me, affecting my daily life and well-being. I seek the Lord's guidance and strength as I navigate these challenges.


I need the grace of peace to calm my anxious mind, the grace of strength to persevere through moments of depression, and the grace of trust to fully rely on God's plan for my life. Additionally, I seek the grace of hope to see beyond my current struggles and believe in a brighter future, knowing that God is with me every step of the way.

It often feels overwhelming, and I find myself worrying about what comes next after graduation. I want to entrust these fears to God because I know He has a plan for me, even if I can't see it clearly right now.

I wish to be able to have strength and peace. I’m praying for the courage to face my challenges with faith and to trust in His timing. I believe that by leaning on God, I can embrace my hardships and grow through this experience.

I know CS is a very wonderful course that can offer my a variety of instruments to help me be equip for the world of tomorrow. But lately, I am struggling to stay afloat of a lot of things -- catching up with my studies, attempting to find some passion that is related to my course. Unfortunately, while I try, these tasks demand so much from me. I want to do well, but it can get overwhelming.

It is the fear and worrying of what's to come in my life. Will I be ready? Am I going to survive? Also, self-doubt is one of those crosses that I carry.


I think a grace that I need from the Lord is the assurance of what's to come and probably a mindset that can help clear out my thoughts and my own spirituality.

I worry that I may not meet their expectations, and that I will ultimately disappoint them. Growing up, I have been known to perform well, and so stellar outputs and results have always been the standard they set for me in everything I do.


I pray that God gives me the grace to be open and honest with my loved ones about how the pressure that I feel has been weighing me down. I hope to be graced with the courage to walk away from what other people have planned for me so that I may go in the direction of my own truth and vocation.

I am the eldest in our family, and due to recent unforeseen circumstances that has demanded my already heavy responsibility as the eldest, sometimes I feel like I am on the verge of giving up and breaking. The pressure to look after my siblings while being the most capable to help my parents becomes overwhelming at times (although these are just expectations I have put onto myself, and my family has been as understanding as ever). I hope that this cross is just an experience that will allow me to be stronger, so that future challenges will come and go easy for me, and I hope God stays with me throughout the process.

It feels like everyone is moving forward and achieving their goals already like getting internships, positions in organizations, and building connections while I am still trying to pave my way in this vast crowd of young adults. I feel like my capabilities and achievements are far smaller than what my friends and batchmates have done during our stay in Ateneo.

I need him to give me more time to decide, but that’s not possible so never mind.

Currently I am working on the planning stage; I can't help but wonder if my current output is good at the moment.

I pray for peaceful treatment of issues as much as possible to maintain good relationship between people and countries and for people to think more logically and be more understanding.

Something that I would like to ask from the Lord is to help me turn these worries into motivations that would fill me with energy to overcome the challenges associated with them and trust the process that I would have to go through.

With so many things happening and a lot of deadlines to accomplish, I feel lost and currently losing motivation. I need God's grace to renew me and give me the rest I need in this troubling time.

Despite being in my junior year, I continue to worrying over thoughts such as whether or not I'm in the right course for myself as well as what I'm supposed to do in the future (career wise and just life in general).

I pray for clarity and and courage so that I may be able to resolve this anxiety as well as face the present and future with confidence.

I am uncertain and fearful of my future. That, in trying to make do with what I was given and in times that I've resigned myself to feelings of defeat and self-loathing, I would usually turn my head and hide my face whenever I felt grateful and happy because I didn't want to be caught with my guards lowered, convincing myself that moments like these are fleeting and moments of failure are overpowering. I know that my fears have merit. If I can't convince myself or the people around me that I am good and am capable of good, at the very least, I pray that God does. I need the bravery to overcome my cross. I need my dreams to overcome my doubts, not the other way around. I need more courage to see myself, bare and mediocre, as worth of love and attention that I did, at some point, believe. It's not anymore about fearing to make mistakes, but now about putting a brave face whenever I stumble on a pitfall and catch sight of yet another ugly and new part about me. I hope I can trust God that there's truth in the saying it's never too late to start something and that there's many paths to a good life for me.

I often feel the weight of trying to live up to expectations, whether from myself or others, and sometimes find myself caught between wanting to make a meaningful impact and feeling unsure about the path to take.

The graces I need from the Lord are the courage to trust in His plan, even when the way forward feels unclear, and the wisdom to discern where I am being called to serve. I also seek the grace of patience, to allow things to unfold in His time rather than rushing in my own. Lastly, I ask for peace, to let go of worries that I cannot control and carry these crosses with faith and hope.

I need to be reminded that God has his plans for me and even if I don't get what I want, I know that his will is better than mine.
