prison ministry
Servant
Jesus, This is a stressful season, and the students are overwhelmed by the mountain of work ahead of them, yet they can trust in you. I know that when I put my faith in you, even when it's as small as a mustard seed (Luke 17:6), miracles can be accomplished. I pray that as they study in these coming weeks, as they soak up knowledge and memorize facts, as they read and process and write, that you would be renewing their minds and strengthening their spirit. Help them to persevere through the massive to-do lists and the busy schedules, and help them to keep their eyes fixed on you throughout it all. As they enter their classrooms and exam rooms, I pray you would blanket them in your peace. Ease any anxieties, calm their restless minds, and give them focus on the task at hand. I pray that they would know their worth is in you alone, not in any grade they do or do not make, not in any assignment or test or teacher's opinion. I pray that they would fear your presence during their exams, and that they would be comforted by your nearness. Thank you for the gift of this education, Jesus. I pray that their final exams would be a celebration of all they have learned in this season, and that they would be grateful for all that they have experienced and for all the ways they have grown. May you be glorified, Lord. Amen.
