Chemistry

Dear God,

Why is chemistry so hard for me? Why don't I understand it? I pay attention in class, I do the homework, I go to every help session, I go to the professor's office, I ask Dad for help...

and I still don't understand it!

God, why does this have to be so hard? Why can't I understand this? I am so tired of trying so hard. My head hurts from thinking so hard. My eyes hurt from staying up late to work chemistry problems.

I can't do this anymore. I can't do anything by myself. I need you so much. Without you, I'll never pass this course. God, I need your help. I need your rest. I give this burden all up to you. Please take it and do what you will with me.

Love,
Me

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Matthew 11:28-30
