Thankfully, we have hope to succeed because of God’s Grace. 

“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” (2 Corinthians 12:9).

Here are 8 practical strategies to help you stand strong during the college years.
