Loving God: I lift up to you Corey and I celebrate all that you are doing in his heart and in his life. I ask that you help him build his life. Please do heal all of the wounds. As Corey takes this brave step forward, I ask that you put your angels around him to protect him. Through every step of this process, may he feel your presence with him in profound and very real ways. As he is tested physically, may he accomplish his goals by the power of your strength. Give him the courage to always do more than he thought he could do because he will surge forward with your strength. As he is tested mentally, give him a strong mind. A mind full of confidence in you and in the gifts you have given him. Let him have a great recall to remember the things that he studies and to do well on any tests he must take. As he is tested emotionally, keep him honest, calm and real always trusting that you will not let him fall. As he is tested spiritually, protect him from all attacks of the evil one. If he is ever tempted by things that are not of you, please give him a profound sense of courage to say NO to anything that would lessen him as your man or cause him or anyone else any kind of harm. Wrap him in your arms of love so that while he might be lonely for his loved ones he will know that at no time is he ever really alone...you are with him. Let Corey be a light wherever he goes. Let him be a model of respect and honor. May he gain confidence in both you and in himself. I thank you for creating Corey in his mother's womb. I give thanks for his willingness to be about your business in the world. I give thanks for all that you are going to do in Corey's life and I give thanks that you have called him forward to be a man of God. In Jesus name, Amen.
