Back-to-School Prayer Series

Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance.
Proverbs 1:5
Let’s Talk About It
As students, we often focus on our own journey, but there are many people behind the scenes who help make our college experience possible: professors, administrators, counselors, and all the staff members who invest in us. Their work goes beyond simply teaching or running the college. Many are there to guide us, encourage us, and even pray for us.
These individuals pour time, effort, and sometimes even their hearts into creating an environment where students can thrive. But their jobs are often difficult, and they face their own challenges. They need strength, wisdom, and grace to continue serving with excellence. Let's take a moment to pray for those who are helping guide us through this season of life. May we pray that our light will shine in such a way that they see Christ in us, and that He may be glorified through our interactions with them.
Prayer for College Staff
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the dedicated staff who teach and guide us through our college journey. I lift up all the professors, administrators, and everyone who works hard to make this a place of learning and growth. Lord, many of them are committed to their roles and their faith, but I know that some face environments where their beliefs are challenged or even opposed. Please give them the strength to stand firm in their convictions and the courage to lead with truth and grace.
In a world that often opposes Christian values, I ask that You protect their hearts from discouragement. Help them to find peace in knowing that You are always near and that their work is not in vain. When they are tested, remind them of Your promises and give them wisdom to navigate difficult situations. May they be filled with Your peace and guided by Your spirit.
I also lift up the staff who may not know You, Lord. May they see Your love through the way the believers around them act and treat them. I pray their hearts will be open to Your truth. Use Your people as a light in their lives, and may they come to know You as their Savior and the source of hope.
Lord, help me to honor and encourage the staff, and may I be a light to them as well. Let my actions reflect Your love, grace, and truth in a way that glorifies You.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
Keep This in Mind
While you focus on your studies, remember to lift up those who are supporting you in this season. They too need God's strength and grace as they serve.
