Call on the Lord

Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts. (2 Timothy 2:22 NLT)

Today's meditation:

• The struggles of youth are intense and filled with danger, yet God offers love and peace to fill the voids created by sin. Who will guide them? Who will light their way? If not us, who?

Pray today:

• For our students to avoid poor choices, especially the ones with dire consequences, for them to pursue right living, for them to find friends to lean upon during times of temptation and struggle - friends who help them call on the Lord.
• For our staff and faculty to create co-curricular initiatives to assist our students with good decision-making, with relationships that encourage and build up, and with effective pathways to righteous living.

Pray for the top three needs of Emmanuel College:

• To hear the Word of the Lord regarding life after debt and our vision for an expanded mission for 2018 and beyond.
• To enroll more than 1000 students in August 2019.
• To continue reducing our debt over the next five years with the purpose of becoming debt-free.

• General chapel services on Tuesdays at 11 a.m. and on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. and School of Christian Ministries chapel services on Thursdays at 11 a.m.

Pray First! Pray Through!
