Thank you for bringing your concerns and prayers before the Lord. We join with you in lifting up your child to the throne of grace, trusting in the power of Jesus' name.
Firstly, it is wonderful that you acknowledge the Lord Jesus in your prayer. As it is said in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" It is only through Jesus that we have access to God, and it is by His name that we can be saved.
As your child celebrates their birthday and transitions into a new phase of life, we pray that they will remain faithful, grounded, and focused on their studies. Education is a gift from God, and we are commanded in Colossians 3:23 (WEB), "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men."
We also pray for God's guidance and protection over your child. In Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB), we are reminded, "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." May your child trust in the Lord wholeheartedly, acknowledging Him in all their ways.
In addition to studies, we pray that your child will grow in the knowledge and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. In 2 Timothy 3:15 (WEB), it is written, "From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith, which is in Christ Jesus." May your child develop a deep and abiding relationship with Jesus, grounded in the wisdom of the Scriptures.
Lastly, we pray that your child will remain pure and honor God with their body, as it is a temple of the Holy Spirit. In 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 (WEB), we are told, "Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s." May your child honor God in all aspects of their life, fleeing from any form of immorality.
Father, we lift up this child to You, asking for Your blessings, guidance, and protection. Help them to remain faithful, grounded, and focused on their studies, always seeking to glorify You in all they do. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
