Day 15: Graduating College Students


Scripture:
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11

Prayer:
Lord, we thank You for students who are completing their higher educations.  Their journey has been long, and we pray that it has been fruitful, enjoyable, and thorough.  Give them everything that they need to finish their education and finish strong.  Let them celebrate their success.  Let their friends and families celebrate them as well.  Remind them to complete the work that they have begun when they become frustrated or discouraged during this year.  Let their professors be guides into the world.  Give them job opportunities so that they can become gainfully employed.  Any hinderance they may encounter that will keep them from graduating, give them the knowledge and wisdom on how to navigate these hindrances.  When they’ve graduated, we pray that they are thankful for Your grace, love, and harmony that brought them through their education. Thank You. Amen.

Go a Step Further:
If you know of a student graduating from college.  Give them a word of encouragement to help them through their journey.  Take a moment to pray with them one on one for any issue(s) they may be having.
