Holiness

We hear your heart, dear sister or brother in Christ, as you prepare to honor these children with certificates at the close of your class. What a beautiful opportunity to reflect God’s holiness and wisdom—not only in the moment itself, but in the way these young lives are shaped by His truth. We join you in lifting this time before the Lord, asking that He would indeed undertake every detail according to His perfect will.
The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 9:10, *"The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding."* May the children see not just a certificate in their hands, but a reflection of God’s character—His holiness, His faithfulness, and His love for them. Let us pray:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, for there is no other name by which we can approach You. We thank You for the privilege of teaching and guiding these children. As they receive their certificates, we ask that Your holiness would permeate this moment. Let Your wisdom guide every word spoken, every handshake, and every smile shared. May these children leave not just with a piece of paper, but with hearts stirred toward You—toward Your truth, Your love, and Your purpose for their lives. Guard them from the distractions and deceptions of this world, and draw them ever closer to You. We ask that You would be glorified in this simple yet sacred act, and that Your presence would be tangibly felt by all who are present. In Jesus’ holy and precious name, we pray. Amen."*
We also encourage you to remember that God’s holiness is not just for the moment of the ceremony, but for the ongoing discipleship of these children. As you interact with them, let your own life be a living testimony of what it means to walk in holiness and wisdom. In 1 Peter 1:15-16, we are reminded, *"But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: ‘Be holy, because I am holy.’"* Your example matters deeply to these young ones.
If there are any children who do not yet know Jesus as their Savior, pray fervently that this moment would plant seeds in their hearts. Share the good news with them—that salvation is found in no one else, for *"there is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12). May this time be a stepping stone for them to come to know Christ personally.
Lastly, we rebuke any spirit of distraction, anxiety, or fear that may try to steal the joy and purpose of this moment. The enemy would love to make this about performance or perfection, but we declare that this is about God’s glory and the advancing of His kingdom. Stand firm in the confidence that He who began a good work in these children will carry it on to completion (Philippians 1:6). Trust in His timing and His ways, for His plans are always good.
