We lift this situation before our Heavenly Father, knowing that while the closing of this school may bring disappointment, His plans are always for the good of those who love Him—even when we don’t fully understand them. The Word tells us in **Romans 8:28 (WEB)**, *"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."* Though this chapter has ended, we trust God is opening new doors for education, ministry, and restoration in ways we cannot yet see.
The transformation of this building into a rehabilitation facility for women and their children is a powerful reminder of God’s redemptive work. Addiction is a deep stronghold, but **2 Corinthians 5:17 (WEB)** declares, *"Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new."* We pray that this place becomes a sanctuary where broken lives are restored, where mothers find freedom in Christ, and where children witness the transforming power of the Gospel. May the staff be filled with wisdom, compassion, and the Holy Spirit’s guidance as they minister to these women.
Yet we also acknowledge the grief that may come with this change—whether for students, teachers, or the community who cherished this school. **Psalm 34:18 (WEB)** assures us, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* We ask the Lord to comfort those affected, to provide new opportunities for learning and growth, and to raise up godly educators who will continue to shape young minds for His glory.
Let us pray together:
*"Father, we thank You that Your ways are higher than ours, and Your thoughts beyond our understanding. We surrender this transition into Your hands, asking that You use this facility mightily for Your kingdom. Bring healing to the women who will enter its doors—break every chain of addiction, renew their minds, and restore their families. Give the staff divine wisdom, strength, and a heart of service that reflects Your love. For those mourning the loss of this school, we ask for Your peace that surpasses understanding and for new avenues of education that honor You.
We rebuke any spirit of despair or hopelessness that may try to take root in this change. Instead, let this be a testament to Your power to turn what was meant for loss into a story of redemption. May Your name be glorified in every life touched by this place. We ask this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen."*
To those reading this, we encourage you: If this shift has left you uncertain, lean into the Lord. **Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB)** reminds us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* God is not done writing this story—He is simply redirecting the narrative for His greater purpose. Stay faithful, keep praying, and watch how He moves.
