I BATTLED ANXIETY..😟

On the first episode of “Life’s Issues” featuring an anonymous writer, he shares his experience on dealing with anxiety at a University Campus.

University of Benin has a couple of very difficult departments of which Computer Science is one of them. Passing through that department unscathed is a testimony for any Christian. My case wasn't different, that department will want to 'get you' one way or the other. From an ABSENT result, to spiritual courses we didn't understand, to undeserved carry-overs for borrowed courses. The list of 'unfortunates' can be endless. We prayed in our departmental fellowship for success in exams, sadly, we Nigerians pray about everything. Well, who else to turn to when the Nigerian Factor is involved? Final year exams written, post-final paper celebrations done. But really... Which Computer Science student from Uniben won't be apprehensive? There was a lot of anxiety in the air about the results, hardwork was not enough. Whatever spiritual backup you had was a necessity. I was quite worried, what will I graduate with? A second class upper, lower? I didn't know for sure, no one can ever be sure. But a night of revelation from God settled it. After that dream I had where God spoke to me that "IT IS SETTLED", I prayed and thanked Him for success. Not too long after, my friend called me and gave me the good news. I was indeed part of the 'remnant generation' that had a second-class upper. So many fell by the way side in that acadmic four-year journey.

A reminder for any Child of God, don't kill yourself over the issues of life. Persecutions, tests, trials and temptations will come, the afflictions of the righteous abound but God is big enough to deliver him/her from it all.
