Pray that we would "Dare to Love" the graduates in our community.

God, we lift before you those who this spring, are reaching the culmination of a journey of educational pursuits, completing high school, college, apprenticeships or graduate programs. We know how hard they’ve worked to reach this “finish line” and, like you Father, look upon them with a godly pride of a job well done and a race well run. And like you Father, we also lament with them, as the way in which they anticipated being acknowledged and celebrating this milestone with friends, family, their educational influencers, and their fellow co-laboring classmates will fall short of their hopeful expectation. Although it may not be the same, may we not, however, let this moment go by without making an intentional effort to honor them, letting them know how much we care and how proud we are. Specifically, we pray for the “adopt a senior” initiative. May many names of graduates be offered and may each graduate be adopted by an extended community of family that "Dares to Love" them in a special way, appreciating and celebrating them, marking this moment with joy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. -Romans 12:10 (ESV)

Pray for people at higher risk of developing the disease.

Dear Lord, we lift to You our concern for people who are more likely than others to become severely ill from COVID-19 — the elderly and people with chronic health conditions. Protect them from harm and be their comfort in this time of uncertainty and, for many, preventive isolation from loved ones.

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.—1 Peter 5:7 (NIV)

Pray for educators and students (including colleges and universities)

God we pray for students during this time who are away from their routines and their lives at school. We pray that they continue to have positive connections with their friends and others from school. We pray for their work at home, that you help them be productive and give them confidence that they can do their work well.

God we also pray for the teachers while they are away from their students. You know how much the teachers care and love for their students and want them to succeed. In this time of online learning, we pray that the time spent with their students online is life-giving and can be a moment where the students see that their teachers are there for them.

The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace. Psalm 29:11 (NIV)
