Ecclesiastes 10:18

We move down the home stretch in our journey through this amazing little book of wisdom. In this chapter we'll look at a collection of proverbs and how they impact our lives as college students.

God invites us to pray to him; it’s a wonderful blessing to be able to talk directly to our Father in heaven. But oftentimes, we let things get in the way of our prayer time. This devotional reading plan presents some common prayer killers and gives you practical advice for how to overcome them so you can spend time with your God in prayer.

God created us to find meaning in our lives. But we live in a broken world where we’re continually frustrated in our search. So, what’s the point of living life?

Written by an elderly King Solomon, Ecclesiastes reflects on a life of meaningless pursuits. Solomon writes that the world's pursuits, from wealth to self-indulgence, are vain and unfulfilling. Ecclesiastes determines that God and his presence make life fulfilling, and true wisdom is to fear God and keep his commandments (Ecclesiastes 12:13).
