Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Heidy and her son Michael Alexander to you. We thank you for the opportunities they have had to visit universities for football and for the talents and abilities you have given to Michael. We pray for your favor to be upon them as they seek scholarships and opportunities for his future.
Lord, we ask that you open doors of favor for Michael, that you would guide him to the right university where he can continue to develop his skills and pursue his dreams. We pray specifically for Colgate University in New York, that if it is your will, you would touch the heart of Coach Cilento to include Michael in their visits and consider him for a scholarship. We ask for your divine intervention in this situation, knowing that you are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.
We also lift up Sherwood High School to you, Lord. We pray for your favor and blessings upon the school and the coaches. May they recognize and appreciate Michael's talents and potential, and may they support and encourage him in his athletic pursuits.
Father, we trust in your perfect plan for Michael's life. We surrender his future into your hands, knowing that you have a purpose and a plan for him. We ask for your wisdom and guidance for Heidy as she supports and advocates for her son. Strengthen their faith and grant them peace and patience as they wait for your perfect timing.
We declare your promises over Michael's life, for you have said in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." We stand on this promise and believe that you will fulfill your purposes in his life.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
May God bless you and your son, Heidy, and may His will be done in every aspect of your lives.
