Dear God, we thank you for Jesus our Savior and your free gift of Salvation. We thank you that all who work, teach and learn at MLC preach the message of Jesus using the truths of your Holy Word, the Bible. May MLC continue to prosper and train many more men and women for your service. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Lord Jesus,
We thank you for the privilege of sharing the good news with the world. Watch over those who train our future workers, and those who are training to be future workers in your kingdom. Give them servant hearts to share your word in their words and actions. You showed us what true love is – help us to reflect your love in everything. Amen.
– Pastor Duane Schmeichel
Dear Lord,
Please bless the students currently studying to serve as Gospel ministers at Martin Luther College. Give them zeal to serve you and to accomplish the tasks that you have set before them. Also, I ask that you would inspire more young people to pursue the path of Gospel ministry. In your Holy Name I pray,
Amen.

Gracious Father,
Thank you for providing and sustaining Martin Luther College, your modern day School of the Prophets. Thank you for instructing the students with your Word, instilling in them a ministry mindset and a servant’s heart. Bless those who serve there and those who study there with a double portion of your Spirit, with wisdom, and with a fervent zeal to take the saving gospel of Jesus Christ to a world in desperate need.

Thank you Lord for putting DMLC in my life. It was a college I had never
heard about until I spent a year at Milwaukee State Teacher’s College. After I knew that I wanted to teach people about Jesus instead of being a band director, you led me to ask questions at home and found out that a DMLC was a college at which I could learn to do this. I have been so blessed all because You were the reason that I was able to teach here in California for 40 years. Thank you for the classes I was in, the loving faculty, the music, and friends I experienced there. I say this all in Jesus’ name. Amen

Lord Jesus, we praise and thank you for providing Christ the King and other Lutheran church, schools, and early childhood centers with Christian pastors, teachers, and staff ministers committed to serving you by serving others. Thank you for Martin Luther College and the work they do in preparing future pastors, teachers, and staff ministers to share the truths of God’s Word at churches and schools across the United States and around the world. We ask you to continue to bless MLC in the way that you know is best. Cause young people to consider attending MLC and serving you in the public ministry. To you be all honor, praise, and glory. Amen!

Dear Heavenly Father,
You who know all things, know the hearts of everyone, who loved us while we still hated you, and sent your one and only son from your home to our earthly home, only to die for our sins. We confess our sins, we find we are guilty of disobeying your every command, shaking our fist at your every desire for us, disregarding the saving work of your son on the cross and his resurrection, please forgive us, send your Holy Spirit to work true contrition and repentance in our hearts, and minds. Heal our spirit, give us strength, work in us a perfect love for you and for our neighbor. Take from us all hatred, disobedience, willfulness, and pride.
We thank you for the work of your son, Jesus, on this earth to save us from our iniquities. We thank you for sending teachers, administrators, professors, aids, assistants, and staff at MLC to bring our kids, and MLC students to your feet to learn and wholly understand the breadth and depth of your love for us. Please give the students a right spirit in their studies, to understand what great and perfect love you have for us, that they may be filled with your Holy Spirit to go out into the world, and be salt and light for us, for our children, and for unbelievers they come in contact with. Give they power and grace and love to do this according to your will.
In your name we pray,
Amen.
