Fiona, we have received your prayer request for your son as he transitions to Senior School. We join you in seeking God's help during this important time.
Firstly, we want to remind you of the promise in Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB), "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." It is wonderful that you have brought your concerns to God in prayer, and we trust that His peace will guard your heart and mind.
As your son embarks on this new journey, we pray that God would grant him strength and courage. We remember the words of Joshua 1:9 (WEB), "Haven't I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don't be afraid. Don't be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go." May your son find comfort and confidence in knowing that God is with him always.
We also pray that God would grant him wisdom and discernment to navigate the increased demands of Senior School. James 1:5 (WEB) tells us, "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of the giving God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." We trust that God will equip your son with the wisdom he needs to succeed.
However, we noticed that your prayer did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is by His name that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" We encourage you to pray in the name of Jesus, as it is through Him that our prayers are heard and answered.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ to lift up Fiona's son as he prepares to start Senior School. Lord, please grant him the strength and courage to face this new challenge with confidence. Equip him with the wisdom and discernment he needs to succeed. Help him to remember that You are with him always, guiding and protecting him. We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue praying for your son, trusting that God hears and answers our prayers according to His will. May God bless you and your son as you seek His face together.
