For Those Going Through Change
Dear Jesus,
Be with those going through a major change in their lives right now that involves a new vocation or responsibilities. Single men who are becoming husbands will require added grace to sacrificially love their wives as Jesus loved the church. Those who were previously husbands, who for one reason or another find themselves returning to single hood, may need support and friendship to counter feelings of loneliness. And, where divorce is a factor, protect their hearts from impenitence and refuse to allow bitterness take root in them.
Remove any fear and insecurity from those preparing to become fathers, and replace it with the Spirit-led confidence that you will equip them with what is needed for that role. Where others are transitioning from years of schooling into the workforce, or simply adjusting to a career change, bless them with a positive outlook, keep them eager to learn, and grant them the determination to be committed coworkers and work to hard to do their job well. Guide all others enduring change to faithfully lean on you throughout it.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
