Giving up my hopes to YOU

I went to a 3 hour information session about being a Student Staff which was required for all Resident Assistant applicants. I've spent so many hours working on my RA application, interviewing staff, and going to information sessions. The more I think about it, the more excited I get, and the more I want to be an RA next year.

At the end of the session today, the Leadership Staff told us that this year, they have about 15 openings available but that they received close to 100 applications.

After meeting other candidates for the RA positions and thinking about the statistics, I have come to realize that not getting an RA position is a very possible reality.

And then I realized that I needed to give this hope up to God.

Dear God,
You know how much I have been looking forward to getting this job. But I realize that I may not get the position. I know that You are always in control, and I trust that You will give me what is best for me. Whether you allow me to be an RA or not, I trust that it is the path that You have for me. If I get accepted, I will praise you. If I don't get accepted, I will still praise you. Thank you for the opportunity and experience that you have given me through all of this. Thank you for loving me and always being in control.
Love,
Me
