A Parents' Prayer for their college student

For your son:
Heavenly Father thank you for our son. You did not give him to us to be ours but yours. Yours he is by your grace through baptism and faith in Jesus Christ. Thank you. Keep (name) in Christ this year and in the years ahead... Give him the slices of daily bread that are true Christian friends... Draw him to you in prayer, Bible reading and weekly worship. Guard him from all the slick traps Satan will set. Keep us praying for and talking with him...often. 
You sent your own son into the world... Now by your grace our son heads out into it as well. As you begin to open your calling to him, give him confidence and humility for it and diligence for his studies. Give each of us a great sense of humor... And happy reunions right on time. I ask this in Jesus' name, amen.

For your daughter:

Heavenly Father thank you for our daughter. You did not give her to us to be ours but yours. Yours she is by your grace through baptism and faith in Jesus Christ. Thank you. Keep (name) in Christ this year and in the years ahead... Give her the slices of daily bread that are true Christian friends... Draw her to you in prayer, Bible reading and weekly worship.

I ask this in Jesus' name, amen.

And you might also pray for their professors by name each Sunday night:).
