God has you in mind

 By Emmanuel Excellence

As I prepared for this year's JAMB exam, I set a goal to score 385. I began studying diligently in September 2023, dedicating time each morning, afternoon, and evening. However, when the results were released, I was devastated to find that I had scored 238. I cried tears of anguish, feeling as though God had forgotten me despite my prayers. I began to doubt my own abilities and lost hope and confidence in myself.

Adding to my pain, my mother passed away shortly after. It felt as though God had turned His back on me. I was heartbroken, lonely, and overwhelmed with depression. It seemed like my entire world had crumbled beneath me, and I questioned the purpose of continuing this journey called life.

When it came time to process my admission, I felt it was pointless and decided not to proceed. I contemplated changing my institution but didn't even purchase the form. I told myself I would try again next year, but deep down, I knew it was a lie. It was only during the annual youth camp at my church that I realized God had not forgotten me. He had been watching over me all along and had plans for my life. Encouraged by this revelation, I decided to move forward with my admission.

I share this story to remind you that God has not forgotten you. No matter what you are facing or how bleak things may seem, God is always with you. The Lord assures us that He knows the thoughts He has toward us—thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give us a future and a hope.

So, beloved, remember that God always has you in His thoughts and loves you deeply.
