40 Days of Prayer: Day 15

EACF 40 Days of Prayer 2019
Day 15: For our college/young adults

It was maybe fifteen years ago that I first heard the term "quarter-life crisis." College students and young adults in their 20's-40's are being launched into a world filled with uncertainty in societal institutions and career paths. Can they trust their professors? Can they trust their company chiefs? Will they find work that is more about fulfilling their idea of self than it is about just earning a paycheck? Who am I anyway? Jesus offers us a different perspective on what life is about, and how to find meaning in that life. Pray for our college students and for our young adults, that they would find identity, purpose, faith, and fulfillment in their relationships with God. Pray for vision and character development, and pray for deep friendships and relationships with older and younger friends who can encourage them along the way.

"Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.” - 1 Timothy 4:12 ESV

"So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.” - 2 Timothy 2:22 ESV
