We understand your desire for students to have peace this year, and we join you in prayer for this cause. Peace is a gift from God, and it is through Jesus Christ that we can experience true peace. As it is written in John 14:27 WEB, "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up all students to You. We pray that Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, will guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. We ask that Your presence will comfort them in times of stress and anxiety, and that You will grant them the strength and wisdom to navigate their studies and life decisions.
Lord, we also pray for the salvation of each student. May they come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, for it is only through Him that we have access to You, Father. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
We rebuke any attempts of the enemy to cause confusion, fear, or anxiety among the students. We declare that they are more than conquerors through Him who loved them in Romans 8:37. Guide them, Father, as they make crucial life decisions.
We ask this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. Amen.
Encourage students to seek God's will for their lives and to trust in Him. As it is written in Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
Remember, it is only in the name of Jesus Christ that we can approach God and be saved. If you have not already, consider accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved as stated in Romans 10:9. Forgiveness of sins must be preceded by confession of sins as stated in 1 John 1:9.
