Prayers for college students
The breakup
For the week the whole campus is one person.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalm 34:18, NIV
Lord, my heart is broken and my spirit is crushed. But You are close to me. You save those in my condition. Draw near as I draw near to You.
Close to the Brokenhearted, from the grief or despair 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.
- Money, and the job on top of the classes Rent, the shifts, the meal plan running out.
