As the semester progresses, expect there to be a spiritual battle. Be wary, armor up!
Your student is answering the Lord’s call for their lives. As they are obedient to Him, there is an enemy that wages war against them, an enemy that wages war against your family succeeding. Partner with your students through prayer against discouragement, confusion, disbelief, anxiety, and despair. (Ephesians 6:10-18).
For Your First Year and Praying For Your Student bring the academic calendar and common high points and low points to your attention to equip your prayers.
College parenting has its high points and low points, too! In Full Hope of an Answer and When You and Your Student Disagree may be exactly what you need this month.
