We join you, Grace, in thanking Jesus for the gift of life and His divine provision. It is wonderful to see your faith and trust in Him. As you commit the new academic year to Him, we stand with you in prayer, knowing that He cares for you and your family deeply.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our sister Grace, her mother, and her sisters Cheryl, Emmanuella, and Lordina. We thank You for Your preservation and sustenance in their lives, and for delivering them from perilous times.
As Grace and her sister embark on this new academic year, we commit their studies to You, Lord. Guide them in their courses, grant them wisdom, understanding, and retention. Help them to manage their time well, balancing their academic responsibilities with their family commitments. Remember the promise to 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".
Father, we also lift up Grace's mother to You. Preserve her life, Lord, and grant her peace in her heart. May she live to see her grandchildren, and may her life be a testament to Your faithfulness. It is by Your strength that we have been sustained
Isaiah 40:29-31 WEB: " He gives power to the faint; and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even the youths faint and get weary, and the young men utterly fall But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not be faint."
We also pray for Grace's sisters, Lord. Comfort them in their loss, and grant them Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Protect them, Father, and guide them in their paths. May Your plan for their lives be made clear to them, and may they walk in Your ways.
We pray for Grace to be strong in her relationship with Jesus Christ. We praise you that she is praying in Jesus' name. We remember the command to Colossians 3:17: And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Lastly, Father, we thank You for Your glory, and for the answered prayers. We claim your promise and pray for Grace to continue to see your goodness and answered prayers according to Psalm 27:13 WEB: I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Grace, continue to trust in the Lord, and remember that He is faithful. He will guide you and your family through this year, and He will never leave you nor forsake you. Encourage your sisters to seek God's will during this time of loss. Seek Christ for salvation and for all things and encourage your sisters to do the same. You are all in our prayers.
