The sweetest and most genuine prayer from a precious college student striving to be Christ-like, Christ focused, and centered on Christ in his everyday life. Weldon Davis
Dear Jesus,
Forgive me of my sins and where I have failed You so many times before. Thank You for not turning from me, and for maintaining a steadfast hope in my life’s plan. Today I pray for the millions of peers I am surrounded by who are focused on earning a higher education from the many institutions in this world.
I pray for each person’s soul and that they first and foremost seek You as their Savior. I also pray for their outlook on life. All too often we seek what benefits our own life and are too self-absorbed to consider the thoughts, emotions, and burdens of those people surrounding us.
In order to move forward in Your will I realize I must take myself out of the equation and fill it with nothing more than Your abundant love. Please be with the countless nations and college campuses. Allow them to seek a true spirituality in You Jesus.
Thank You so much for Your unfailing love, in Your name I pray. Amen
“Self-absorbance-Too many people in college focus on themselves and bettering their lives rather than spending time to put interest into other people.”
Weldon is one of many college students Garrett and I have adopted as our own. He is an amazing young man who strives every day to be more and more like Christ. Not only does he strive to be Christ like but he strives to reflect Christ on campus, on the baseball field, in church, and in his community.
I couldn’t think of anything sweeter than to hear the heart of a college student and what they wanted to see change spiritually. God is able!
Moving past the “me” goes way beyond just a college campus. It extends to each and every one of us.
Do you focus more on “you” than others? I pray we too will realize that we must remove the “me” from the equation and fill it with Christ’s love and serving others.
