A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, May 18th

Good Morning, God
This weekend, rather than praying for our sports teams to “go, fight, win”; we are beginning another kind of season – the season of our high school graduations.  We have been preparing for this season for twelve, thirteen years.  After a few short hours, a few speeches, the recommendation of the principles and the acceptance by the School Boards, our students will be “graduated”.  “Commencement” will have happened.  Truly, Lord, this is not a seasons of “finds”, but a season of beginnings, of “commencement”, of finding one’s way in the great game of life.

Lord, we pray for our high school graduates today.  We thank you for their experiences, both easy and tough, these past years.  We ask your guidance and their following of you plan for them the rest of their lives.  For now, please keep them smart, safe, hopeful and good citizens – and may they accept the responsibilities of being a high school graduate and young adult.
In Jesus' name, Amen
