Dear Heavenly Father,
In the name of Jesus, we come before you on behalf of Dupeford, who desires to get their life on track for the first time. Lord, we ask that you guide and direct Dupeford's steps, leading them in the path of righteousness. Your Word says in Proverbs 3:6, "In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." We pray that Dupeford will acknowledge you in every decision and seek your guidance.
Father, we ask that you grant Dupeford grace and elegance as they walk on campus. Help them to carry themselves with confidence and poise. Your Word reminds us in Psalm 37:23, "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way." May Dupeford's steps be ordered by you, Lord, and may they bring delight to those around them.
Lord, we pray that you open Dupeford's vocal cords and grant them the ability to speak loudly and make people laugh. Let their words be filled with kindness, joy, and encouragement. Your Word tells us in Proverbs 16:24, "Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones." May Dupeford's words bring sweetness and healing to those they interact with.
Father, we ask that you remove any feelings of discomfort or isolation from Dupeford's heart. Help them to feel welcomed wherever they go, especially on their university campus. Your Word assures us in Romans 15:7, "Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God." May Dupeford be received and accepted by their peers, finding a place of belonging and connection.
Lastly, Lord, we pray that you shield Dupeford from the symptoms of their mental illness being evident to others. Protect them from any stigma or judgment. Your Word reminds us in Psalm 34:17, "The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles." We ask for your deliverance, Lord, and for your healing touch upon Dupeford's life.
In Jesus' name, we pray, believing that you are able to answer our prayers according to your perfect will. Amen.
May God bless you, Dupeford, and may He grant you the desires of your heart as you seek Him and trust in His guidance.
