Thank you for watching over us and keeping us safe through out all these years of our education.

While our futures might seem hazy or unknown, help us trust that everything happens according to your will, God. Each one of our lives are in your hands, and because of that we need not feel worried or scared, but safe and at peace. All of this we thank you for, Lord.
In Jesus name
Amen
