PNM Devotional
INSPIRATION & ENCOURAGEMENT FOR EACH DAY OF UTC PANHELLENIC RECRUITMENT
Day 1: Who Can You Trust?
As the week gets started, it would be good to take inventory of your emotions. How are you feeling about everything so far? What words would you use to describe your expectations? What are the things you feel most excited about? What might you feel anxious about?
Spend some time writing down some of your thoughts. Maybe call a friend. Here are some timeless words of truth that you can reflect on as you begin your journey into college this week:
Read Psalm 56: 10-13--
“In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid. What can man do to me?
I am under vows to you, my God; I will present my thank offerings to you. For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before God in the light of life.”
Read Psalm 18:30--
“As for God, His way is blameless;
The word of the Lord is tried; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.”
Read Proverbs 3:5-6--
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
Ask
In whom do you usually put your trust and hope?
How do these verses encourage you to direct your trust and hope?
Pray
Thank God for any ways that the passages might have encouraged you and ask God for His guidance during this week.
Think About It
What is your purpose in life? How does that fit into sorority life?
From the Greek Cru staff
We’re glad you’re here!
We’re Savannah & Lauren, some of the Greek Cru staff at UTC. Recruitment Week will be one of fun and excitement, and probably some anxiety as well. Our hope is to encourage you as you participate in recruitment and as you transition to college. Greek Cru exists as a spiritual resource for you in the Greek system at UTC and we hope we can connect with you!
No matter what you currently think about God or Jesus, we pray this devotional helps as recruitment can bring up questions or doubts about purpose, significance, and a sense of security in uncertain times.
You may not be able to do the devotions every day, but do what you can—answer questions, read, think, and pray. And feel free to reach out to process more if you’d like.
