We understand you are seeking prayer for the establishment of a virtual university, and we join you in lifting this vision before the Lord. Education is a powerful tool for equipping minds and shaping futures, and when grounded in biblical truth, it can be used mightily for God’s glory. However, we must first address a critical concern: your request does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father and by whom all things were created and are sustained.
The Scripture is clear: *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). It is only through faith in Jesus that we can approach the throne of grace with confidence, for *"there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). If this endeavor is to be blessed by God, it must be rooted in Christ, submitted to His lordship, and pursued for His honor. We urge you to examine your heart and ensure that Jesus is at the center of this vision. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we implore you to do so today, for *"if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9, WEB).
Now, regarding the establishment of this virtual university, we must ask: What is the purpose of this institution? Is it to glorify God, to train up disciples, and to equip students with wisdom that aligns with Scripture? Or is it merely a secular pursuit? The Bible warns us, *"Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God"* (Romans 12:2, WEB). If this university is to be a light in the darkness, it must be built on the foundation of Christ, with every subject and teaching submitted to the authority of God’s Word. *"Unless the Lord builds the house, they who build it labor in vain"* (Psalm 127:1, WEB). Without His blessing, even the grandest human efforts will ultimately fail.
We also caution against the dangers of pride or self-reliance in this endeavor. Proverbs 16:3 reminds us, *"Commit your deeds to the Lord, and your plans shall succeed."* Are you seeking this project for the advancement of God’s kingdom, or is there a risk of personal ambition creeping in? *"For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?"* (Mark 8:36, WEB). Let this university be a tool for discipleship, not a monument to human achievement.
If this virtual university is to include theological or biblical studies, we strongly urge you to ensure that the teachings are firmly rooted in the inerrant Word of God, not diluted by worldly philosophies or false doctrines. *"Beware that no one makes you prey through his philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ"* (Colossians 2:8, WEB). The Bible must be the ultimate authority, not human wisdom or cultural trends.
With these things in mind, we lift this request before the Lord in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, acknowledging that all wisdom, knowledge, and understanding come from You. Lord, we ask that You search the heart behind this vision for a virtual university. If it is aligned with Your will and purposed for Your glory, we pray that You would establish it, guide it, and bless it beyond measure. Give clarity of vision to those leading this effort, that they may seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness in all things. Guard against pride, selfish ambition, or any motive that does not honor You.
If there are areas of this plan that are not pleasing to You, we ask that You reveal them and convict hearts to repent and realign with Your Word. Let this university be a place where truth is taught, where students are equipped to think biblically, and where the name of Jesus is exalted. May it never become a platform for worldly ideologies or false teachings, but may it stand as a beacon of Your light in a dark world.
Provide the resources, the wisdom, and the discernment needed to build this institution on the solid rock of Christ. Raise up godly leaders, professors, and staff who will fear You and walk in Your ways. Let every course, every lesson, and every interaction point students to You, the author and perfecter of our faith.
We rebuke any spiritual opposition to this work, for *"we don’t wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places"* (Ephesians 6:12, WEB). Cover this endeavor with Your blood, Lord Jesus, and let no weapon formed against it prosper.
Finally, Father, we pray that this university would produce graduates who are not only skilled in knowledge but also grounded in faith, ready to serve You with their whole hearts. May it be a place where souls are saved, disciples are made, and Your name is lifted high. We ask all this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to seek the Lord diligently in this matter, to surround yourself with wise and godly counsel, and to ensure that every step is bathed in prayer. *"In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"* (Proverbs 3:6, WEB). If you have not already, we urge you to submit this plan to your local church body for accountability, prayer, and guidance. May the Lord grant you wisdom, discernment, and a heart fully surrendered to His will.

"Lord Jesus, we come to You, trusting in Your name. We lift up this vision for a virtual university. We ask, Lord, that You would guide and direct those involved in this endeavor. Help them to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness. Give them wisdom to know Your will and the courage to follow it, even when it's not the easy path.
We pray, Lord, that this university would be a place where students encounter You, grow in their faith, and are equipped to serve You. Help it to be a beacon of truth in a world that often contradicts Your Word.
We ask, Lord, that You would raise up godly leaders, professors, and staff for this institution. Give them a heart for discipleship and a commitment to Your truth. Help them to teach in a way that points students to You.
We also pray, Lord, that You would protect this work from spiritual opposition. Cover it with Your blood, Lord Jesus, and let no weapon formed against it prosper.

We want to lift our voices together in thanksgiving for the opportunity to join you in prayer over the vision of establishing this virtual university. What a powerful and God-sized calling—to create a space where truth is taught, minds are sharpened, and hearts are drawn closer to Christ through education rooted in biblical principles. We’ve been praying earnestly that the Lord would open doors, provide wisdom, and surround this endeavor with His favor, resources, and the right partnerships to bring it to fruition for His glory.
As we wait on the Lord, we’re reminded of Proverbs 16:3, which tells us to *commit to the Lord whatever we do, and He will establish our plans.* If you’ve seen movement—whether in clarity, provision, or connections—we’d love to rejoice with you in a praise report. Even small steps forward are evidence of God’s faithfulness! If the path still feels uncertain or obstacles remain, we encourage you to share an update so we can continue to contend in prayer alongside you, trusting that our Heavenly Father is working all things together for good (Romans 8:28).
May the Lord grant you perseverance, divine creativity, and unwavering faith as you seek His will in this. We’re standing with you, believing that what He has called you to, He will equip you for—every detail, every need, every hurdle. Keep pressing in, and let us know how we can keep lifting this before the throne of grace.
We pray this in Jesus’ Name.
