Prayer for Year 12 Students of DEA Ministries
“Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.”
(Proverbs 16:3)
Faithful and loving God, we pray for all Year 12 students across our DEA schools. Give them the grace of recollection, resilience, and gifted hands and thoughts as they sit exams in the coming weeks.
Holy Spirit, guide, protect and reward all students for their commitment and hard work throughout the year.
