Prayer For (By Rex Knowlea, Fresbytreian-Congrgattonal student pastor, adapted from tin World Student Christian Federation "Call to Prayer") O God our Father, we confess the sins that are ours as stu dents: ' Our laziness and wasting of time Our lack of discipline Our fear of those who oppose us and our failure vr witness to them , " ' Our irresponsibility In choosing a career and our unwilling ness to forgo material wealth Our readiness to be satisfied with discussion, and to accept ideas in place of action. Our blindness to the needs of our fellow students who are sick, poor, anxious, despairing or lonely Our failure to pray regularly and to expect great things of Thee. . . On this day, Father God, we bring before Thee the needs of the students of the world. We pray especially: . For those who have lost their sense of significance as stu dents For those whose anxieties do not leave their minds free to think For those tormented by the difficulty of choosing a vocation For those who have become estranged from their families For those who study far from their home within a strange culture. For those who are homeless or stateless, lonely or hopeless. We thank Thee, Father, for all teachers who have a vision of their responsibility. Give them the wisdom and strength to discharge it effectively. Continually pour Thy grace upon them, comfore and refresh them, hearten and humble them that they may serve Thee with quiet minds to Thy Glory. We ask that our faith and prayer may not fail, and that Thou wilt use and empower us as Thy instruments. And we pray that Thou wilt raise up for our time men and women in every land who bring about peace and brotherhood and obedi ence to the faith among all nations.
