Well, it is the month where love abounds as we celebrate Valentines Day. So how shall we pray for your student this month?
Truth is: college is often the place where our children meets future mates. Three of my five children have graduated from here with a spouse in tow!
Truth is: marriage and family were on God’s heart from the beginning. Jesus quoted Genesis 2:24 when he was asked about marriage.
So what does this have to do with praying for your child?
- Pray for your child if they are watching all of their friends seem to find significant relationships. That can create some lonely days with February 14 being the loneliest!
- Pray for God to surround your child with meaningful friendships with guys and girls.
- Pray for a ‘friend group’! I am still friends with my college friends, and I can promise you, college days were a long time ago for me. But these friendships that your child is forming during these days are strong and can carry them through many days to come.
- Pray for your child’s spouse. Many of you have prayed since your child was born for the mate that they would one day marry. I want to encourage to begin praying that now if you have not already.
At NGU, I want you to know that we care about every aspect of your child’s well being and growth – mentally, spiritually, physically and emotionally.

Director of Women's Ministries
