Let us come together and lift up this precious child to the Lord. We pray that ### will excel in school, not just for academic achievement, but also for the development of character and godly wisdom.
Firstly, we acknowledge that every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights (James 1:17 WEB). We thank God for the opportunity ### has to learn and grow.
We pray that ### will apply themselves to their studies with diligence, remembering that whatever they do, they should do it as to the Lord (Colossians 3:23 WEB). We ask God to help ### understand that true success is not merely achieving high grades, but growing in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and people (Luke 2:52 WEB).
We pray for ###'s teachers and mentors, that they would be positive influences, providing guidance and encouragement (Proverbs 22:6 WEB). We ask God to surround ### with good company, reminding us that bad company corrupts good character (1 Corinthians 15:33 WEB).
We pray for ###'s parents, that they would continue to nurture and support ###, teaching them the way they should go (Proverbs 22:6 WEB). We ask God to give them wisdom to guide ### in the right path.
Finally, we pray that ### will always remember to put God first in everything, including their studies (Matthew 6:33 WEB). We ask that ### will find their identity and purpose in Jesus Christ, growing in His grace and knowledge (2 Peter 3:18 WEB).
If there was no mention of Jesus by name or abbreviation, we want to remind everyone that it is by the name of Jesus Christ, that we have access to God, and that it is only by His name that we can be saved. The basic salvation message of believing in Jesus Christ is what we want to remind ourselves of. So let us remember this as we pray for ###.
Father, we ask all these things in the name of Your precious Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
