We join you in lifting up those who are starting or returning to the university, as well as those commuting to work, petitioning our Lord Jesus Christ for their safety and guidance. We are reminded of the scripture in Philippians 4:6 WEB, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God."
Firstly, we want to commend you for acknowledging the power of Jesus' blood and His lordship. It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God, the Father. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus," (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB).
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your divine protection and guidance for those returning to the university and commuting to work. We plead the blood of Jesus over them, knowing that it is a powerful stronghold against the schemes of the enemy.
Lord, we ask that You grant them wisdom, knowledge, and understanding according to Your will. Guide them in their studies and work, and help them to discern Your purpose for their lives. We pray for Your divine providence and favor to be upon them, and ask for the miracles they need.
Protect them on the roads as they travel, Lord. We rebuke any spirit of accident or harm, and pray for Your covering over their lives in the name of Jesus. Let your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Father, we ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. It is in His name that we have access to You and can boldly come before Your throne of grace.
We also encourage everyone to be in constant prayer, to seek the Lord in all things, and to trust in His never-ending faithfulness. Remember the words of Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB, "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."
