Prayer for the Semester

     Lord, I come in total reliance on You as I begin this next semester. I pray for challenges that will bring me closer to you, peace that I am carrying out your will for my life, and that I may have an unrelenting thirst for You.
     Be with me as I embark on this new chapter in my life with school. Guide me in my studies, relationships with classmates and faculty, and who You want me to become. You have been with me in every hurdle that was overcome that brought me to this point. Continue to do so, because I know different and tougher challenges lie ahead.
     I pray for my relationships with my friends and family. You know what those needs are. Show me more ways in which to support them, pray for them, and love them.
     Finally, teach me how to be like You . How to surrender control and curiosity that I, for some odd reason, can't seem loosen my grip on. How to love like You so that others may see You in it.
     Lord, I need you in every hour, in every dream, and in every way.
