PRAYER FOR PARENTS OF CHILDREN SEEKING HIGHER STUDIES
 

Loving God, I thank You for this good time of prayer. I profusely thank You for making my son/ daughter get through the examination. But she /he has not obtained the anticipated marks and therefore I very often get angered and furious. Sometimes I compare him / her with others and make them worried about their poor performance. Instead of encouraging him/her, I discourage him/ her. O Lord, help me to overcome this. I had thought that he/she would study well and be well placed in life; but this idea seems to be replaced by others. I am troubled. O Lord, till now I had the thought that he/she would pursue the course I desire. I did not give room for Your will to be fulfilled in his/her life. I have erred; kindly forgive me. Guard me from admitting him/her to any course that he/ she would find difficult. Help him/her to get good marks in the courses they pursue to enable him/her to get admitted to any course of his/her choice in future. Help him/her to get admitted in an institution nearby. Bless him/her by giving good friends in this new institution. Bless him/her so that we, parents, may be joyful and feel exalted in him/her. I praise You with the belief that You would do that. I thank You. I offer this prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, O good Father. Amen.
