Pray for high school and college seniors.

God, we give thanks for those who have run the race and finished the … courses, for those approaching the end of high school or college; apprenticeships or graduate programs. We pray for those who are missing the last year of spring sports or musicals, celebrated acceptances, whispered rejections, senior events, graduation parties, walking the stage, flipping the tassel, and tossing the caps. We pray for all those who will not be able to proudly witness all those achievements in ways they had envisioned. Help them to focus on the giver of every good and perfect gift. Help them to focus on you, our Creator God, who created each of them uniquely with the gifts, abilities, talents and with perseverance to accomplish such incredible goals. May they take all that they have learned and offer it to you as they take their next steps in this world. Help them to bring justice, mercy and to spread love wherever they go. We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 3:12-14

Pray for those who are mourning and grieving the death of a loved one.

God of compassion, we lift up those who are mourning and grieving the death of a loved one during this time. Surround them with your presence and fill every longing during this time of separation. We ask that you would hold them close to your heart in the moments when they feel helpless, alone and caught up in deep sadness. God of comfort, in their grief, would you shelter them in the shadow of your wing. Ever-faithful God, help them to feel your love through these words of hope to all your people from the prophet Isaiah: "Because you are precious to me, because I love you, there is no need to be afraid, for I am with you." Father, in this time when families and friends cannot draw near to one another for comfort, we ask that you would be their strong rock, their comforter, healer and friend. Draw them close to you, Lord, and help them to sense your deep love and promised presence.  In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. -Matt...

Philippians 4:8-9 (New International Version)

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Philippians 4:4-7 - Think of Excellence (The Living Bible)

Always be full of joy in the Lord; I say it again, rejoice! Let everyone see that you are unselfish and considerate in all you do. Remember that the Lord is coming soon. Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank him for his answers. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus. Join others at 12 PM today to pray for our local and global community.
