Lord, Hear Our Prayers

Please pray for my daughter Kimberly as she begins this important chapter of her life in college. May God protect her physically, emotionally and spiritually and guide every step of her journey. May the Holy Spirit give her wisdom, discernment and strength in her decisions, studies, friendships and relationships. Surround her with kind, trustworthy people who will encourage her and protect her from harmful influences and situations. Please pray that God blesses her education with understanding, perseverance and confidence. When she feels stressed, lonely, uncertain or overwhelmed, may Jesus give her peace, hope and strength. I also ask for God's providence for her financial and educational needs. May he open doors for scholarships and assistance and provide what she needs for housing, food, books, school supplies and other necessary expenses. Please guide Kimberly's vocation and future career. May she use the gifts God has given her to bring compassion, healing and hope to children, youth, families and others. Above all, please pray that Kimberly remains close to Jesus throughout her life and learns to trust him in every circumstance. May the Blessed Virgin Mary watch over her with maternal love and always lead her to her son. I entrust Kimberly's present, future and all the intentions I carry silently in my heart to God's loving mercy and providence. Amen.
