Children sponsored through university
need to wait to get married, so that they
can concentrate on their studies. In a
culture where early marriage is the
norm this can be very difficult.
Unmarried teachers can demonstrate
how rewarding a career can be and
how, later, to combine it with family life.
Lord, I pray for those sponsored children
who have undertaken to study hard for
a better future. Help them to resist the
pleasures they may see their friends
having, knowing that they are working
towards brighter career prospects, the
opportunity to do good in the world and
to make a difference to others. Help
their teachers to set good examples, demonstrating the rewards of a career as well
as coping with marriage and children. Amen.
