Lord, I thank You for the blessing of mentorship, for the opportunity to walk alongside others in their spiritual journey, and for the wisdom and insight You have already imparted to me.
Father, I ask for Your divine presence to be with me as I encourage and uplift those entrusted to my care. Help me to listen with a compassionate heart, to speak with Your truth, and to act with Your love. Grant me the patience to understand the unique paths and struggles of each individual, and the grace to offer guidance that aligns with Your holy will.
Lord, I pray for the people I am mentoring, that their hearts and minds may be open to Your teachings. May they feel Your love and see Your light through our conversations and time spent together. Strengthen their faith, and help them to grow closer to You, finding comfort and joy in Your presence.
Guide me, Lord, to be a beacon of Your light. Let my actions and words reflect Your love and mercy. Help me to lead by example, showing humility and a constant dependence on Your guidance. May this journey of spiritual mentorship be one of mutual growth, deepening faith, and unwavering trust in You.
I thank You, Lord, for the incredible honor of being a spiritual mentor. Help me to always rely on Your wisdom and to continuously seek Your presence in all that I do. In Jesus’ name, I pray.
Amen.
