These devotions were written by ministers, professors, students, teachers, missionaries, and others who work with and care for students. One author typically writes one week of devotions.
In these devotions, you will read honest struggles and questions, all in the context of real faith. As you read the thoughts of the writers, think about your own response to the scripture for the day. Let the writer's words serve as background for your own conversation with God.
The Format, as it is described on the site:
Music will start as you begin, unless of course, you prefer to no music, or different music. You can personalize your experience.
PAUSE -- As you pause to begin your devotion, you will find a statement that will help you take time away from your busyness to center and listen to what God is saying. Stay on this screen as long as you like, as you get ready to listen to what God has to say.
LISTEN -- Scripture has so much to say to our lives, our job is to make the space to listen. As you read the scripture for the day, read it through a few times or pray the scripture as you listen for God's voice.
THINK -- The devotions found on this site are reflections, voices that will cause you to think. As you read the reflections on the scripture, ask yourself what you are thinking. Do you agree? Do you disagree? How do the words you are reading help you to dialogue with the text?
PRAY -- Let your thinking about the text lead you into prayer. As you enter the "prayer" step, we've given you a few words to get you started, but don't end there. Remember, prayer is conversation, so take the time to talk to God about what's going on in your life.
GO -- While it would be nice to find a quiet space and stay there forever, life always calls us back. There are many things to do, and we are called to go, but never alone. So as you finish your devotion, go with God, go with the blessing of a space in your day set aside to listen.
