Lord God, I pray that you give my heart peace over these opportunities and these challenges at school. Let me know your will for my education! God, I do not desire to be self-seeking in this! Please keep me humbled and lowly at the foot of your cross throughout this and my life. Let me use whatever gifts you have given me in ways that will glorify you and advance your kingdom!
Lord I pray that you protect me from the temptation to think highly of myself. Let me rather think highly of you, and of others. These opportunities are from you and for you! Let me cling to your cross, acknowledging my sinfulness and my dire need for a savior! Create good works that I may walk in them! Bless my creativity and knowledge with a purpose for You! Bless my gifts with an employment in your service.
God you are the only thing that will be left when this world ends. I will not be faced with an angelic board of directors or a Scripture SAT or a holy scrutiny of my resume. I will be faced with YOU. God let me never lose sight of the hope you have given me!
I pray that you will prepare my heart for my future, whatever it is! If I am to be a wife and stay at home mom, Lord, give me grace to love your will. If I am to go to graduate school in Oxford, Lord let your will be done and your name be glorified! If I am to go into the publishing industry Lord let me publish stories about your goodness. If I would do PR for non-profit groups Lord your will be done and your name be magnified through my works! If none of these are your will for me, then God prepare me in ways unknown to me now so that I will gracefully accept your good plan!
I pray down every road that I have my eyes set on you and your prizes, that I would deem your cause the most worthy of my time and my intellect. God I give you my intellect! You bestowed it upon me and I claim no rights over it! Let my professors and mentors guide me in ways according to your will. Let my heart be at peace and my conscience in agreement with you. I want to walk in your will, O my God! Be with me Lord as I seek you with my whole heart!
