We lift you up in prayer as you take these important steps in your education and in gaining the skill of driving, and we rejoice with you in these opportunities to grow and prepare for the future God has for you. The path you are on—pursuing a diploma in care—is a noble one, as it reflects the heart of Christ, who came to serve and not to be served. As it is written, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ"* (Colossians 3:23-24, WEB). May this truth guide you as you study, reminding you that your efforts are ultimately for His glory.
We also pray for your driving lessons, asking the Lord to grant you wisdom, patience, and confidence as you learn. Driving is a responsibility that requires focus and discernment, and we ask that God would surround you with safety and clarity. *"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"* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). May this promise be your assurance as you navigate both the roads and this new season of learning.
As you prepare for these changes, we encourage you to remain rooted in prayer and in the Word of God. It is easy to become overwhelmed by new challenges, but remember that *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me"* (Philippians 4:13, WEB). Lean on Him when the workload feels heavy or when driving feels daunting. He is faithful and will equip you for every good work.
We also take this moment to remind you of the importance of inviting Jesus into every aspect of your life. While your request did not mention His name, we gently emphasize that it is only through Christ that we have access to the Father and receive His blessings. *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me'* (John 14:6, WEB). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so, for *"if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9, WEB). There is no greater foundation for your studies, your driving, or your entire life than a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for this brother/sister and for the opportunities You have placed before them. Lord, we ask that You would bless their studies as they pursue this diploma in care. Grant them understanding, retention, and a heart of compassion that reflects Your love for those they will serve. May their instructors be wise and encouraging, and may every challenge in their coursework be met with Your strength and grace.
We also lift up their driving lessons to You, Father. We pray for safety on the roads and for a patient, skilled instructor who will guide them well. Remove any fear or anxiety, and replace it with confidence rooted in You. Help them to learn quickly and to drive with wisdom, always aware of the responsibility they carry behind the wheel.
Lord, we pray that You would draw them closer to Yourself in this season. If they do not yet know You as their Savior, we ask that You would open their heart to receive Jesus Christ as Lord. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in Your will and experience the peace that surpasses all understanding.
We declare these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Col 1:9-12: "We keep asking to be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so we may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, increasing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all perseverance and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father". ... I pray in Jesus' Name, Amen.
