Graduation is a major milestone — not just an ending, but a new beginning. As high school graduates step into a world filled with decisions, dreams, and uncertainties, we lift them up in prayer, trusting that God has beautiful plans for their lives. Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) offers encouragement for this next chapter: “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” Today’s devotional and prayer bless every graduate with courage, clarity, and confidence as they navigate what comes next. Whether it’s college, career, ministry, or a time of waiting — may they follow God’s voice and walk in His purpose.
