Prayer for the End of A Challenging Semester

Oh Lord, You know what it is to be weary. You understand what it means to endure in hard circumstances. You carry our burdens as Your own.

We come to You in a hard moment. We ask to feel Your mercy soaking into our dry hearts like rain. We ask to hear Your voice calling us to rest and renewal. We ask to taste Your goodness, ever new, like honey on our tongues.

Be with us, Lord. Bring from our afflictions an abundant and eternal weight of glory, and transform our difficulties in Your time.  Help us to endure. Give us rest.

Thank You for Your presence in all things.

In Jesus’ Name, amen.

About Us

The Emerging Scholars Network (ESN) is a national network within InterVarsity’s Graduate & Faculty Ministries which supports those on the academic pathway as they work out how their academic vocation serves God and others. We encourage and equip undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and early career faculty as they navigate each stage of their academic vocation and transition to the next step in or beyond the academy.
