People plan their course, but God determines their steps.
— Proverbs 16:9
Seeking college acceptance can be an overwhelming experience, filled with anxiety and uncertainty. However, as we navigate this journey, we must remember that God is intricately involved in our lives. The Bible teaches us that while we can make plans, it is ultimately the Lord who guides our paths. This reminds us to surrender our ambitions to Him. As we cast our cares upon Him, He assures us that He cares for us deeply (1 Peter 5:7). Trusting God means recognizing that He knows what we need and when we need it. Sometimes, the doors that close may lead us to greater opportunities—ones that align with His purpose for us (Jeremiah 29:11). Therefore, we must approach this process with a heart of faith, believing that God is working all things for our good. In every application and interview, let us seek His presence, knowing that He will lead us to where we are meant to be.
