Heavenly Father,
We come before You on behalf of Your child, who is earnestly seeking Your mercy and forgiveness. They acknowledge the mistakes of their past, recognizing that they did not take their education seriously when they had the chance. Yet, Lord, they now seek Your grace and an opportunity to turn their life around.
Your Word says in **1 John 1:9**, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." Father, we stand on this promise and ask for Your forgiveness for the times they have fallen short.
Lord, You are the God of second chances. In **Jeremiah 29:11**, You declare, "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." We ask that You open doors for them to attend community college and university, to earn their associate degree, bachelor's degree, and master's degree.
In **Philippians 4:13**, Your Word tells us, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." We pray that You provide them with the strength, determination, and resources needed to achieve their educational goals.
We also ask for Your guidance and wisdom, as stated in **James 1:5**, "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." Lord, please impart wisdom upon them as they navigate this new path in their life.
May Your peace, which transcends all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus, as promised in **Philippians 4:7**.
We trust in Your perfect timing and Your unfailing love. We pray all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
