Be Still and Know I AM

Tonight I am feeling a culmination of emotions centering on the fact that I feel very alone in a very secular world. I am so tired. I need discipleship/mentorship. I have a few friends that serve in the discipleship capacity for me, but they aren't close by. I have other friendships where I feel like I am the "strong" Christian and right now that is wearing on me.
I really miss the daily fellowship in chapel I had in college. It's such a blessing, and those 4 years go by so quickly! I yearn for that kind of time again. At least at my home church, there is not much ministry specifically for the benefit of young adults after the college years. We're kind of lumped into the "adult" group which is typically young parents, adults my parents age, and older. I am grateful for getting time to learn from those individuals, but I also feel that I am at a completely different point of life than they are. I am struggling to trust God with the unknown of my future after grad school, finances for food, clothing, school, etc., relationships... I am so overwhelmed. I am trying to surrender it all to Him, but even so I feel very alone and could use some encouragement and wisdom and an outlet.
