8 Good Prayers for Graduates

School begins from infancy. Some people go to school for almost all their lives. Whether basic, elementary or tertiary there comes a point where you have got to move on. These days being a secondary or tertiary graduate marks the beginning of your adult life. That is the time for choices.

Choosing to continue schooling or trying your hands on the job market using what you have been taught. Proverbs 9:10 says fearing the Lord marks the beginning of wisdom. Prayers for graduates are meant to prepare them for the world and all the curves life after school throws their way.

We go to school to learn about our physical world. We learn about how we can adapt, survive, manage and gain on this earth at the same time learning about how not to misuse the resources God has entrusted to us.

Proverbs 16:16 talks about how wisdom and understanding hold more merit than gold. Teaching a man to fish is far more beneficial than handing them a fish every day. Proverbs 19:21 however says that it is good for man to plan but it is God’s purpose that will prevail.

We go to school to learn how to survive as men in the physical world but let us always remember that God’s plans for our future are the priority. Go to school for the knowledge but stay with God for the wisdom to use that knowledge. Graduates are often faced with different dilemmas.

A lot of questions circle their heads about what job to do, marriage, where to work, and so on. These prayers are meant to speak to the graduate about how they need God from the first day to the last.
