In this season of graduation, whether it be from preschool, Kindergarten, middle school, high school, college, seminary, or some other level of learning, we lift up prayers of thanksgiving and blessing on all students and those involved in education in any way.
May the words of this hymn (ELW 768) be a prayer for all who are on the journey of learning:
Lead me, guide me, along the way
For if you lead me, I cannot stray.
Lord, let me walk each day with thee.
Lead me, O Lord, lead me.
I am weak and I need thy strength and pow'r
to help me over my weakest hour.
Help me through the darkness thy face to seek.
Lead me, O Lord, lead me.
Help me tread in the paths of righteousness,
be my aid when Satan and sin oppress.
I am putting all my trust in thee.
Lead me, O Lord, lead me.
I am lost if you take your hand from me,
I am blind without thy light to see.
Lord, just always let me thy servant be.
Lead me, O Lord, lead me.
