There comes a season when our children’s dreams move beyond our reach—sent off into the unknown, waiting on decisions we cannot control. For parents of high school seniors, this year holds both celebration and ache, pride and letting go. God alone sees the full picture. As the year ahead unfolds, He invites us to trust Him more deeply—to place both our children’s futures and our own hearts into His steady, faithful hands. He is the One who holds all things together.

TONIGHT’S SCRIPTURE

“I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.”
— Romans 15:13 (NLT)

YOUR NIGHTLY PRAYER

Father,
Tonight we come to You with full hearts and open hands. You see the dreams being sent out, the waiting, the wondering, and the quiet ache of letting go. Increase our trust in You as we step into this new year. Fill us with joy and peace that do not depend on outcomes, but on Your presence. Hold our children as You have always done, and hold us too as we learn to release what we love most back into Your care. We trust that You are writing a story far greater than anything we could imagine.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.

THREE THINGS TO MEDITATE UPON


Speak Romans 15:13 aloud and pray it daily over yourself and your child, asking God to replace anxiety with confident hope.


Reflect on this truth: God is the source of all hope. Where have you been tempted to place your hope elsewhere this season?


Consider what it looks like to trust God one day at a time. What worry can you intentionally place at His feet tonight?
