Scripture:
He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord. Psalm 40:3
Prayer:
Lord, we thank You for students who are completing their
secondary education. As these students
begin their final year in public education, give them an excitement about
accomplishing a goal that is worthy to be applauded. Help them to put forth their best
effort. We know that seniors in high
school can become complacent and lethargic from having been in school so many
years. We ask that they don’t get
senioritis. Remind their parents that
they must give their seniors room to spread their wings and become adults. Help each student with any decisions they may
have to make regarding college or their future after high school. Give them a sense of urgency when it comes to
applying to college and for scholarships.
Let them not procrastinate in these matters. Let them be able to meet all the financial demands
that they will have as they graduate.
Open of the windows of heaven and let them have an abundance of
scholarships and school choices. In the
end Lord, let them make the best decision possible for them. Let them not be swayed by peer pressure and
outside influences. Let them stay on
track. Give them a year of excellence. Thank You. Amen.
Go a Step Further:
If you know of any high school seniors, give them a hug or a
word of encouragement to complete this school year. If you are able, bless them with a small
donation that can go towards something for their senior year.
