24 Hour CSF Prayer Guide
Friends, thank you for being willing to pray for us as we head into the fall semester. You give us courage and strength. You can use this guide to aid you in praying during your time slot, or feel free to do without and pray what the Holy Spirit puts on your heart! We would love to hear how God moves you to pray for us on Thursday!

God, let Christian Student Fellowship’s events and time on campus in the next two weeks allow them to connect with many students who are open and hungry for life with You. Establish the work of their hands for them.

New Students:
-  For spiritual hunger as they come to campus
-  For a desire and effort to seek out a faith community
-  For lonely and afraid students to meet and connect with followers of Jesus

For CSF Returning Students:
-  For creativity to use their gifts to build up the Body of Christ and to reach the lost on campus -  For vision to see their classes and dorms/apartments as places to show hospitality and build community
-  For an invitational and bold spirit

For CSF Staff:
-  For energy and open handedness in adjusting to an unknown fall schedule
-  For wisdom in reaching out to students during COVID-19
-  For divine appointments on campus and opportunities to share the Gospel
-  For staff unity and growth in partnership and friendship
-  For health within our marriages, families, and communities in the season ahead

​For the University of Illinois Springfield and Lincoln Land Community College:
