Desiring God:
I came across this during devos a few days ago and it's something that I've been praying for -- Ezekiel 11:19-20: "'I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God.'"
Being responsible for the things that God has given me, in the area of my studies:
Proverbs 21:31: "The horse is made ready for battle, but victory rests with the Lord."
Although ultimately, "victory [doing well in school] rests with the Lord," the horse still needs to be made ready for battle (I still need to be a good student, study, and try my best). Right now, I'm struggling more with getting the horse ready for battle.
Martha/Mary/Nancy:
My attitude towards Nancy (2nd fl, CCI) is more like that of Martha's (Luke 10:38-42). My heart is not in developing a more solid friendship with Nancy and caring for her salvation as a friend would; "reaching out" to Nancy is done more so out of obligation that she is my hall-mate. My prayer request is to actually care for her as a person (not just the spiritual aspect) and joyfully invest time and energy into our relationship.
