A Prayer for Students Hearing from College Admissions
Lord, we lift up our seniors who have received or are patiently waiting to hear from colleges. As they face big decisions about their future, guide them to a decision that aligns with your will. Remove the pressure of expectations from peers or society, and help them to quiet their hearts to hear your voice. Strengthen their hearts to lean not on their own understanding, but to trust you to make their paths straight.We trust you to lead them where they can thrive. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
