Gracious Lord,
We come before You with the hopes and dreams of Your child, seeking Your divine intervention and blessing. They have set their sights on being accepted into Stanford University, a goal that they hold close to their heart. We pray for favor in the eyes of the admission committee, that they may see the potential and passion in their application. May Your will be done in this process, as Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."
Simultaneously, we ask for Your guidance in leading them to a career that not only provides a steady income but also aligns with their talents and passions, especially in the realm of making or playing video games. Illuminate the path to a vocation where they can feel truly fulfilled and where their gifts can flourish. We recall Ephesians 2:10, "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." Let them find joy in their work and make a meaningful contribution through their creativity and skills.
In their journey towards academic and professional success, we ask that You keep their spirit uplifted and their mind focused. Provide them with the wisdom, patience, and perseverance required to navigate these aspirations. Encourage them to trust in Your timing and plan, knowing that You are with them every step of the way, as promised in Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths."
We ask these things in faith, believing in the goodness of Your plans for their life.
Amen.
