Change. It's such a bittersweet thing. So many things change: the weather, fashion, technology, etc. Sometimes, the changes are good, and other times, we hate the fact that things must change. We're going to go through a lot of change this next year. Graduation is going to start a new chapter in our lives. As we go through these changes, we're going to need a lot of prayer and encouragement. This is the prayer I pray for all of us:
Dear Jesus,
Thank You for all of the good times that have encouraged us to get through high school. Thank You for all of the rough patches that have molded us into what we are today. Thank You for the teachers who have helped us get where we are. Thank You for letting us be so close-knit with each other.
Help us not to take our last months in high school for granted. Help us to live everyday to its fullest and try to reach out to the younger people in the school - to be their heroes. Help us to know where You want us to go to college and what You want us to major in. Help us to know who You want us to fall in love with and marry. Help us to know where we need to build our homes. Help us to live Your love everyday for the rest of our lives. Please protect us as we are still at MJCA and as we graduate and move on with our lives. Let us learn from our mistakes but not let them dictate our lives. Help us to forgive others and forgive ourselves. Help us to love You and know that You love us...more than we could ever imagine.
Amen.
--Lindsey.

ReplyDeletei really like the approach of the prayer at the end. veryy nice new addition to our blog & also very sweet of you to pray for us :)
ReplyDeletegoood job.
I like it lindsey. What I like so much about it is that when people think of graduation, few remember that the reason we reach that goal is all thanks to the Big Man, himself. I think it is really cool that you continue to remember Him.
ReplyDeleteThat was really good Lindsey. I don't have much to say because I'm sitting right next to you as I type this and already said everything i thought about it to you, so I'll just reemphasize that that was really good!
ReplyDeletelindsey, prayer is vital to our lives. thank you for the reminder.
ReplyDeletelindsey, thank you so much for praying for us. I hope we dont take our last months of senior year for granted.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Lindsey. Very few people would have posted a prayer, and even fewer long to put Jesus in front of everything. I hope that this will always be your prayer, and ours as well.
ReplyDeletevery very good Lindsey. I love the way that your blog was in the form of a prayer. Very inspirational! Keep it coming!
