Prayers for college students
Lonely in a crowd
For the room full of people and the walk back alone.
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
Matthew 28:20, NIV
Jesus, You promised to be with me always, to the very end of the age. In my loneliness, I hold onto this promise. You are with me right now.
With You Always, from the loneliness or isolation prayers
The other moments
- Still deciding what you believe You do not have to be sure to be here.
- If you have never prayed before You do not need the right words to start.
- Before the exam For the night before, when your mind will not stop.
- 2 a.m., still awake For the nights everything is louder in the dark.
- The first weeks away from home New room, new town, everyone else already has their people.
- The class that shook what you believed Perplexed is allowed. Despair is not required.
- Money, and the job on top of the classes Rent, the shifts, the meal plan running out.
- The breakup For the week the whole campus is one person.
