A Prayer for Graduation

Graduation closes one chapter and opens another. This is a short prayer for a graduate stepping into what comes next.

Lord, thank you for bringing this student to the finish of a long road, and for every teacher and sacrifice along the way. As one chapter closes and another opens, calm the fear of the unknown. You who began a good work will carry it on to completion, so I trust the road ahead to you. Give clear direction, open the right doors, and close the wrong ones. Let this graduate walk into the future with courage, humility, and hope. Go before them, and go with them. Amen.
