Oh, Lord, You're beautiful Your face is all I seek For when Your eyes are on this child Your grace abounds to me I want to take Your word and shine it all aroundBut first help me to just to live it, LordAnd when I'm doing wellHelp me to never seek a crownFor my reward is giving glory to You Oh, Lord, please light the fire That once burned bright and clear Replace the lamp of my first love That burns with holy fear "Jesus we ask you to replace the lamp of our first love for you that would burn with holy fear" "Set our campuses on fire with disciples that love you supremely and are passionate to reach the lost."

Is. 55:8-11 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts. 10 “For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth And making it bear and sprout, And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; 11 So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it. "Father we declare that your Word would be unleashed on every campus across this nation. That your Word would run with power and would not return empty but would accomplish that which you desire. We declare this in Jesus mighty name for His glory!"

Pray for "paradigm shifting" events this semester like special retreats, trips, Tejas, TRUE leadership, etc. where students take major jumps in their journey to Christ.
