Gracious and merciful God,
We come before You today on behalf of [Name], who seeks Your guidance and provision as they pursue graduate studies. Lord, You know the desires of [Name]'s heart, and You understand the financial burden that lies ahead. We lift up [Name]'s need for a full scholarship or grant to cover tuition, books, and fees.
As [Name] embarks on this journey, grant them the assurance found in Philippians 4:19, that Your riches in glory will supply all their needs according to Your glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Strengthen [Name]'s faith to trust in Your provision, knowing that You are a God who provides abundantly beyond what we can ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).
We claim the promise of Psalm 37:4, that as [Name] delights themselves in You, You will give them the desires of their heart. May [Name] find joy and fulfillment in serving You through their studies, and may Your favor rest upon them as they seek funding opportunities.
Lord, You are the ultimate provider and sustainer. Your Word reminds us in Matthew 6:26 that if You provide for the birds of the air and the lilies of the field, how much more will You provide for Your children who seek You! Give [Name] peace and confidence in Your faithfulness.
We also pray for wisdom and discernment as [Name] navigates through the application process. Guide them to the right opportunities and open doors that align with Your perfect plan for their life.
Finally, Lord, we ask for Your grace to be evident throughout [Name]'s academic journey. May they shine as a light for Your glory, using their knowledge and skills to impact the world for Your Kingdom.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
