Proverbs 22:17

Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise, and apply your heart to my knowledge;

School year end is upon us.  Once again in thousands of schools and universities, students will be cast out into the wide world with diplomas in hand.  I offer “Five P’s” to help carry you or your favorite graduate to the next stage of life!

Pray

Matthew 6:6

But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

Purpose

Matthew 7:7

…Seek, and you will find…

***

Prepare

Proverbs 24:7

Prepare your outside work. Make it fit for yourself in the field…

***

Plan

Proverbs 15:22

Without counsel, plans go awry, But in the multitude of counselors they are established…

***

Power up

James 1:22-25

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.  For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

Lord God, today I pray for the young believers that are soon going out into the world.  Help them to be steadfast in your promises, never be timid to pray, have a definitive life purpose, make time to prepare through diligent work and rest, have a strong reasonable plan, and power-up, putting their plans into action. I also pray for those that do not yet know you will be enlightened and moved to accept your Son as Savior. In His name I pray, amen.
