Prayers for college students
Money, and the job on top of the classes
Rent, the shifts, the meal plan running out.
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
Matthew 6:25-34, NIV
Father, You tell me not to worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. You feed the birds and clothe the flowers—how much more will You care for me? I seek first Your kingdom and trust You for everything else.
Do Not Worry, from the fear or anxiety 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.
- Lonely in a crowd For the room full of people and the walk back alone.
- The class that shook what you believed Perplexed is allowed. Despair is not required.
- The breakup For the week the whole campus is one person.
