A prayer
Original writing, not a quotation of Scripture.
Lord, the gown is returned and the photos are taken, and now comes the question everyone keeps asking: what's next? Thank you for every teacher, every late night, and every person who helped get here. Guide the next step, whether it's a job, more study, or a season of not knowing.
