Here are more answers to our questionnaire among college students. We are giving you the exact words of the students in response to:
“God is my daddy, who keeps me safe in His arms. I don’t fear anything in this world.”
“An eternal power who would not love to make anyone sad, but who wants that all be happy and joyful.”

“Any positive or powerful vibes which take us to the right path, and help us in maintaining distance from wrong.”
“Everything happens for a reason.”
“God is my creator. I want to follow Jesus all my life.”
“Peace.”

“For me, God is in each person. He is the one who helps me in all situations.”

May be, these college students, and all of us, can learn from what others, with a strong of God’s closeness, have said:
“Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely. Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly. Though we may feel lost and without compass, God’s love encompasses us completely.” (Dieter F. Uchtdorf)
“You are not what others think you are. You are what God knows you are.” (Shannon L. Alder)
“Legalism says God will love us if we change. The gospel says God will change us because He loves us.” (Tullian Tchividjian)
And these convictions, matured in the midst of struggle, can be a beacon light for us:
“God sometimes takes us into troubled waters, not to drown us, but to cleanse us.”
“If I have time to worry, I have time to pray.”
“God did not bring you this far to abandon you.”
“Worry ends when faith in God begins.”
“God’s plans are always greater and more beautiful than your disappointments.”
“Sometimes God lets you hit rock bottom, to let you see that He is the rock at the bottom.”
“When God says No, it is not rejection; it is re-direction.”
