St. John's

Lord,
Incline Your ear
To this small prayer
For a young man
I do not personally know,
But have heard much about.

You have given him
A full scholarship,
A shot an an education
That may otherwise
Be out of his reach.
But he cannot pursue
His education any further
Without the funds
To re-enter the country.

Lord,
You are Provider
And Sustainer
Of our lives.
I pray that
You make a path
For this young man
To continue his schooling here.
Lord,
Show him a way,
Illumine the way.
As You guided Israel
Out of Egypt
In a cloud by day
And a pillar of fire by night,
So, too,
Lead him back here.

Father,
May my prayer
Be acceptable to You
And in accordance
With Your Will.
Allow him to grow
In knowledge and wisdom
So that he may know You better
And glorify You
From everlasting to everlasting!
