Day 14: College Freshmen


Scripture:
When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 1 Corinthians 13:11

Prayer:
Lord, we thank You for young people who are becoming young adults.  This is a moment in their lives when they must grow up and begin to make decisions for themselves.  Lord, remind their parents that they’ve done their job and must let their child become a young adult.  Give their parents peace as they allow their student to go off into the world.  Let the student be eager to learn on a new level.  Open their minds to learn more and dig deeper into the knowledge they will receive.  Let them not get weary when things get hard for them.  give them a determination to push through and concentrate on what they need to learn.  We know having fun is part of the college life but remind them that their education must come first.  Give them professors who will nurture their love of education and guide them to become life-long learners.  Let them have an excellent first year in college. Thank You. Amen.

Go a Step Further:
If you know of any college freshmen, give them a hug or a word of encouragement as they begin a new journey in their lives.  If you are able, bless them with a small donation that can go towards something for their first year of college.
