Thank you, ###, for reaching out and sharing your heart's desire with us. We understand the anticipation and nervousness you're feeling about your college application, and we're here to support you in prayer.
Firstly, we want to remind you that God has a plan and purpose for your life. As it is written in Jeremiah 29:11 (WEB), "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future." Trust that His will for you is perfect, and He will guide your steps accordingly.
However, we want to gently remind you that our trust and faith should not be placed in the approval of man or institutions, but in God alone. It's important not to seek validation from being accepted into a prestigious university or proving doubters wrong. Instead, focus on God's will for your life. As Psalm 37:4 (WEB) tells us, "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart."
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up ###. Lord, You know the deepest desires of his heart, and we ask that Your will be done in his life. Guide him through this process of waiting and give him peace that surpasses all understanding. We ask that if it is Your will, Lord, that You open the doors for him to attend the University of ###. But above all, Father, help him to trust in You, to delight in You, and to seek Your will for his life. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, ###, we noticed that your request didn't mention the name of Jesus. We want to remind you that it's by His name that we have access to God. As Acts 4:12 (WEB) tells us, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved." Trust in Jesus, and He will guide your path.
