Dear Lord, we thank you for the opportunity to learn, grow and succeed. We appreciate all of the gifts that surround us each day including nature, our friends, family, and the simple things we enjoy. And we know that the obstacles in our path are simply new ways to learn and grow stronger. We pray the high school and college graduates of 2019 will take the time to discover the talents that You gave to them, and will work hard to use those talents to the best of their ability, to seek meaningful jobs, or start their own businesses / practices. Give them patience to find a good fit, to appreciate the challenges, and to want to work hard to "climb the ladder" to a spot that feels right. And for them to find God and put Him first in their lives.
