🌍 Final Prayer and Praise for Ohio Christian University

Prayer
Gracious Father,
We thank You for the gift of learning, for the community we have shared, and for the calling You have placed upon our lives. As this chapter at Ohio Christian University comes to a close, we lift our gratitude for professors who have poured wisdom, classmates who have walked alongside us, and the Spirit who has guided every step.

Lord, You have called us not only to grow in knowledge but to go into all the world, proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ. May the training and discipleship we have received here empower us to carry Your Word to the nations, to embody Your love across cultures, and to join in the great mission of reconciliation You began from the foundation of the world.

Though endings carry sorrow, we trust that You are the Author of new beginnings. Strengthen us to carry the mission forward with humility, courage, and joy.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Praise
Today we give praise for Ohio Christian University — for its vision to equip servant leaders, for its commitment to Scripture, and for its witness to the nations. Though the journey here must end, the mission continues. We celebrate the friendships formed, the lessons learned, and the faith deepened.

We praise You, Lord, for the privilege of joining in Your global mission — to share Your Word with every tribe, tongue, and nation. With voices united, we declare: To God be the glory, great things He has done, and greater things He will yet do through us.

Grace and Peace ✝️🕊️☮️
