Please help with prayers. My son just passed his Gr.12 or Matric with Bachelor. He applied to almost all traditional Universities in South Africa and received provisional acceptance. Now the responses are coming back one by one, all those that are back are regret letters, the reasons stated are "programmes full". We have also applied to private institutions and has been accepted, but the problem with private ones is that they are soo expensive. My son is so stressed because he wanted the traditional Universities. He loved university of free state but unfortunately was regretted as well. I need prayers that he got accepted in at least one traditional varsity.

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Busisiwe Mayindi and her son to you. We thank you for the academic achievement of her son, passing his Gr.12 or Matric with Bachelor. We rejoice in this accomplishment and acknowledge that it is by your grace and favor.

Lord, we bring before you the situation regarding his university applications. We pray that you would intervene and open doors for him to be accepted into at least one traditional university in South Africa. We understand the disappointment and stress he is experiencing, as he had a desire to attend a specific university, such as the University of Free State.

Your Word reminds us in Philippians 4:6-7, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." We ask for your peace to fill their hearts and minds during this time of uncertainty.

Lord, we also pray for provision and financial resources for Busisiwe Mayindi and her family. We understand the challenges of private institutions being expensive, and we ask that you would make a way for her son to pursue his education without burdening the family financially.

We trust in your faithfulness, knowing that you are a God who hears and answers prayers. We declare your promises over this situation, including 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."

In Jesus' name, we pray for acceptance into a traditional university for Busisiwe Mayindi's son, and for your provision and guidance throughout this process. May your will be done, and may your peace and favor rest upon them.

Amen.
