A PRAYER APPROPRIATE FOR GRADUATES AND GRADUATION

Father
Help us to not look forward in fear
to the changes in life;
Rather, may we look to them with full hope,
because as changes arise,
you will lead us safely through all things,
because we are your very own,
and when we cannot stand it,
You will carry us in Your arms.

With you,
we shall not fear what may happen tomorrow;
because you are the understanding Father
who cares for us today,
and who will care for us tomorrow and every day.

We have faith, O Lord,
That you will either shield us from suffering,
or give us unfailing strength to bear it.
Put us at peace,
and give us the grace
to put aside
all anxious thoughts and imaginations.
We pray in the name of Jesus Christ,
Your Son, and Our Lord. Amen
