Heavenly Father, please help our students to find rest in you, delighting in your awesome character and wonderful works. May they know the inherent value that you have given them as people made in your image, and not be consumed by the approval of others. Please help them to work diligently in their study in order to please you, rather than to make themselves impressive. Thank you for the chance that we will have this afternoon to catch up with each other and enjoy some downtime together. May we continue to encourage each other to delight in the gospel of Jesus that is ever true no matter our circumstances.
Amen
