Lord God Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. Hallowed be thy name!
You are worthy of our praise because myriad are the wonders of Your creation. Lord forgive us for failing to praise You for Your creation as You deserve. Even so, we thank You for the ministry of Dayspring and their efforts to open the eyes of our children to the wonders You have wrought.
Lord I thank You for the ministry of Dayspring and each person here who has partnered with parents and labored to educate this Class of 2025 about You and Your world. Lord I pray that our efforts would not be in vain, but that Your Word would dwell richly within each of these 12 graduating today.
Lord I pray that this Class of 2025 would not be conformed to this world, but that through Your Word, which they have heard here, they would have transformed minds, that allow them to rightly discern what is Your Will, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Lord You put man in the garden to work it and keep it. I pray that each of these graduates would find good work to do in Your garden. I pray that whatever they put their hand and mind to would prosper, and that they may feel Your good pleasure, because they are led by You.
Lord I pray that You would give these young people vision. Give them a vision of the life of meaning and purpose You have planned for them. I pray their vision would not be shaped by the culture in which they live but by the divine revelation we find in Your Word, from which they were taught.
Lord You have blessed us here in these United States with a Christian heritage. Even so, it appears our fellow citizens have forgotten the ways that led to our prosperity. Lord I pray that these graduates have been prepared, knowing as Your Word says, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
Lord as they face persecution, I pray that You would give these young people great courage, that they would walk in righteousness like lions, buttressed by the knowledge they have gained through their Dayspring studies.
Lord You said, “It is not good for man to be alone” and that a cord of many strands is not easily broken. So I ask that You would provide fellowship and support for these young people and that it may be Your Will for each of them to soon find a spouse to share their life with.
Lord I trust that I speak for every parent here, there are no words that adequately express my gratitude for the privilege it has been to be a parent. Please Lord may these young people share in our blessing.
The wise man tells us the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! Lord I pray that this Class of 2025 would have full quivers. Let them fill the 12 tribes of Dayspring 2025!
Lord I pray for the Dayspring Christian Academy Class of 2025, may they go forth with Your blessing, in Jesus name I pray.
Amen.
