Prayer for College Students

• The decisions they make now will determine their work ethic, relationships, and so forth. Pray they will look to God for direction and wisdom.
  
  
• Ask God to encourage them to achieve their goals and pursue the dreams of their hearts.
  
  
• Pray they will find Christian friends and groups. Jesus sent His disciples out two by two. A mentor or an accountability partner is of great importance. Pray for a nearby church where they can grow in their walk with Jesus or find a relationship with Him.
  
  
• Pray that students will honor their own bodies and not succumb to worldly desires.
  
  
• Pray they will not get caught up in endless discussions that only serve to edify man and not God (1 Timothy 1:4). Pray for pure hearts, a good conscience, and a sincere faith that leads to love (1 Timothy 1:5).
  
  
• Pray for boldness in sharing their faith with others -- for them to take hold of the gift of God that is not a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love, and of self-discipline (2 Timothy 1:7).
  
  
• Pray that they will remember to keep their own prayer times with God and learn from reading His Word.
  
  
• Pray that their hope will be in God and not man.
  
  
• Pray that they, as people of God, may be thoroughly equipped for every good work and be prepared in season and out of season.
  
  
• Most of all, pray that they may have a Berean spirit to measure every spoken word by the wisdom and direction of God instead of the authority of man (Acts 17:11).
