Dear Heavenly Father…the author and inspiration of our lives, the Father of Jesus our Saviour and the giver of unsurpassed love. We bring before you these precious young people who have spent 9 months learning more about you and your love for them. Father, remind them again and again of your love for them,how you hold them in your heart and promise to walk beside them with each step they take.
Father, we also pray that your Spirit is felt in the hearts of the families of these young people. Give them ears to hear your whispers and the peace in their lives that, even when life hurts, passes all understanding.
Father, just as these young people are blessed by you, soften all of our hearts, that we might know your presence in our lives,trust your promises and live in the grace of Jesus our Lord and Saviour. We pray that our hearts and trust turns to you. Focus our minds on your love forus now and prepare us for your plans for us ahead. Remove our trust in tradition and buildings and help us to value people and their walk with you.Fill us with a love for you that comes from a deep relationship with you. Mold us Father as your children and open our eyes to the love, hope, joy and peace only you can bring.
Amen
