Wise Counsel: Spring Semester Advising

Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed. 
(Proverbs 15:22)

This week began a two-week period of advising at TCU.  While the focus is often on selecting classes for the Spring, it is also an opportunity to discuss career aspirations and build mentoring relationships.  Because it happens at a busy time of the semester, some students choose to make these decisions without counsel.  In addition to discussing a class schedule, it is a chance for students to connect more deeply with faculty and staff.  

Would you be praying for these conversations? Please pray: 
  • advising conversations go beyond the necessary (but often superficial) discussion of course selection
  • students would be willing to talk about concerns they may have as they face uncertain futures and other pressures.  
  • faculty and staff would be sensitive to student concerns and provide wise counsel for this next generation.   
  • God would be honored in advising relationships and conversations.
  • we make the most of every opportunity to encourage and reach out to others in the name of Christ.
Thanks for praying!
