Prayer Request

I'm a third year college student at the University in my home state of Nebraska. After high school I had kind of a rough take off. I passed my first semester of college with flying colors but unfortunately at the end of the semester my Grandma passed away and a few weeks later my brother was killed in a car accident before Christmas. I was in a dark place when I didn't realize it, then a few months passed, the guy I had been dating for two years who happened to be my pastors son, broke up with me. This didn't mean I was just losing a boyfriend but I was asked to leave the church. The next semester I failed all of my classes because I felt that I couldn't do it anymore. I was put on academic probation. I felt like the world was against me. The next couple years was a series of ups and downs, I had gained a group of friends from a ministry I was part of that became my best friends. I was then diagnosed with ADHD, bi-polar disorder, major depression and a panic disorder. Long list, I know. Last summer, my group of friends 'disowned' me. I decided to return to the University this year to take on my last semester of academic probation. I have to get a certain GPA this semester to stay in college. I've been doing really well so far, but in one of my classes (the one that is the most critical that I pass) the allowed days to miss is 5. The semester is one week away from ending and my professor is arguing that I have missed 9 days, which I haven't but he will not give me back those days. Every day missed passed 5 is 30% off your overall grade. So right now, while I'm studying for all my finals, I know that I'm not going to reach my gpa goal, which is extremely tough. I just need prayer that God is going to lead me to what is supposed to be and where I am supposed to go. I need prayer for strength and determination to keep studying even though the odds are against me. Help lift me up to Jesus.
