Welcome to a collection of prayers written for those who study, teach, and practice the craft of computing. I am Eric Araujo, professor of Computer Science at Calvin University and the curator of this collection. You are invited to explore, use, and contribute to these prayers as you seek to integrate your faith with your work in computer science.
About This Collection¶
In the discipline of Computer Science, we encounter profound questions about logic, creation, beauty, and human flourishing. These prayers are offered as a resource for students and professors who wish to integrate their faith with their intellectual work.
Whether you’re starting a new semester, debugging stubborn code, wrestling with imposter syndrome, or preparing to teach a difficult concept, these prayers invite you to bring your whole self—mind, heart, and soul—before God.
