How can I help?
What can I pray for?
These are just two questions I’ve asked my students repeatedly over the past two weeks, and I’ve been bowled over by the answers I’ve received.
Yes, they want help with writing. Great. That’s what I’m here for.
But they also have real prayer concerns that come from places of pain and guilt and shame.
The two are not unrelated. I am asking them questions because I’m teaching them how to read and write more effectively. My ethos as a Christian comes from my ability to show Christ to them through our shared coursework.
My students’ concerns are bigger than the course, however, and when I ask a spirit-led question and have the God-given patience to listen, I am right where God wants me to be.
I can’t address every need I here, even if it is more about writing than it is someone’s life. I know who can though. I know that He hears my questions too.
