A prayer for all graduates by Debbie McDaniel,

for I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm

you, plans to give you hope and a future, Jeremiah 2911.

The season of graduation and new beginnings can bring a mixed bag of emotions to many of us.

Though it's a time of celebration and fresh starts, the letting go process can bring some pain to. Yet parenting is

often just about that, the letting go. And whether it's letting go as they head

to kindergarten or letting go as they head off to college or straight into their first job, it can be difficult.

But there's hope to remember.

Our children are his, no matter where they go or how old they are,

they are in his care. They're in his hands. And he has great purpose for them in this life and that's the very best place we can let them go.

We are entrusting them again, straight into the safe care of a powerful and loving God, and that's the safest

place they can be. His hands are big, to carry, to hold, to protect, to cover, to lead.

And he loves each one of them more than we can ever imagine.

So here's to a great year ahead of God's favor and blessing.

Let's pray for our graduates.

Dear God, we pray for our graduates today
