6 Prayers for Graduates

1. Prayers for Career

Father God,

We pray for the careers of the graduates this year. The job market is not an easy one these days, but Lord we believe that You have a plan for good. Whether the job they enter into is one to be a stepping stone, or one to be a place to grow roots we pray that You will make the path clear to them.

Help their skills to be matched with careers and jobs in which they can both be blessed and a blessing to those around them. Work behind the scenes in the details, and help them to rest in knowing that when they keep their spirits aligned with Your Spirit, they are following the right course. We thank You in advance.

In Jesus Name, Amen.

2. Prayers for Guidance and Direction

Father God, We pray for guidance and direction for these new grads. Help them to have a tender heart to recognize Your Spirit’s leading and to clearly hear when and how You choose to speak. Please make their paths straight and clear, and help them to not lean on their own understanding, but in every way, acknowledge You, knowing You have their best in mind.

Father, we pray that they will not lose heart when things look dim, but that they will hold firm to faith that Your timing is perfect, and that You are a detailed Planner. Thank You, Lord, for being our Good Shepherd.

In Jesus Name, Amen.

3. Prayers for Ministry to Others

Father God,

We pray for the community that these graduates are entering into. We pray that You would give them the discernment of how to be an ambassador of Your Kingdom in the workplace. We know that ministry is not exclusive to solely working in a Christian environment, but just as Jesus sat with those who did not know God, we too have the opportunity to share the Good News with unbelievers.

Lord, please help these graduates to be sensitive to Your nudges to know how to be a Light, and how to truly live as You did. Help them to know that they are a vital part of the Body of Christ, and where they are placed to work holds a specific purpose. Bless their ministry through living authentically among others. In Jesus Name, Amen.

4. Prayers for Walk with Christ

Father God, We pray for graduates in their walks with You. Give them a hunger to know You more deeply, more intimately, and more personally than they ever have before. We know that You are the Living Water that can quench their spirits, and Lord we pray that You would pour out Your Spirit upon them.

We pray that they would see their lives in the present and in retrospect with the full comprehension that You are working and weaving things together for their good. We pray for them to have a strong relationship with You that will withstand any storms life throws at them. In Jesus Name, Amen.

5. Prayers for Courage

Father God, We pray for courage for these young people. In uncertain times, it is easy to fall into feelings of anxiety, but we know that fear is not our portion. We pray that You would fill them with courage, with faith, and with the full knowledge that You are working behind the scenes in their lives. Remind them that You have not given us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of boldness, love, and a sound mind through Christ.

Fill them with boldness in the days to come, for the God Who placed the stars in the sky cares for their lives too. In Jesus Name, Amen.

6. Prayers for Connections to be Made

Father God, Humbly before You we pray for the connections that will be made in these days and the days to come. We invite Divine appointments and connections, Lord. We earnestly hope for authentic relationships to be formed through careers, through networking, and through the coming together in meeting new people in life after schooling. We hope that these connections would be ones that bless Your Kingdom and foster community with those around them. Please open the door to Kingdom relationships that glorify You above all else. In Jesus Name, Amen.
