A Weekly Centering Prayer for These Turbulent Times — For High School Seniors #LetUsPray

let us pray —

god of transitions and change
during this season of graduations

remind us, again and again not all young people are hopeful about the future and we must lament the world we have created

remind us, again and again there is much they have left behind and we must give them room to mourn what was

remind us, again and again not every graduate knows, "what's next" and we must encourage curiosity and patience

remind us, again and again by choice or by circumstance not all graduates go to college

remind us, again and again that the measure of our pride is not based on acceptance rates

remind us, again and again that "letting go" looks different for everyone and there is no right way to enter this next stage of life

in whatever place these young people find themselves remind them again and again

their worth does not come from a high school diploma
their worth does not come from college admission
their worth does not come from having a plan
their worth comes from God

may we surround the graduates in our lives to be their reminder
— again and again

for these things we pray — amen.

Narrative Lectionary.
