Friends, today marks the 22nd year of Karunya being declared a deemed-to-be university. What a wonderful blessing the Lord has bestowed upon Karunya! Many of you may have visited Karunya and experienced the peaceful atmosphere of Bethesda.

When we were newly married and after Katie was born, we stayed there for almost one or two years. Every time we prayed in that place, I would be moved to tears. I often told Sam, “What a blessing it is to be here! You can feel the presence of God so powerfully.” I even wished that I had been a student at Karunya so that I could have stayed there for three or four years.

That is how richly the Lord has blessed Karunya—not only in academic excellence and accreditation but also in spiritual growth. I know many students who have excelled in their studies while also growing deeper in their walk with God. Through the years, the Lord has continued to pour out His blessings upon Karunya and its graduates.

Today's promise from Job 36:11 declares, “They will spend the rest of their days in prosperity and their years in contentment.” This same blessing belongs to you and your family today. Perhaps you have faced losses. You may have lost loved ones, experienced setbacks in business, or gone through seasons of disappointment. Yet from today, God promises prosperity and contentment. He is going to bless the work of your hands and bring restoration to your life.

Before you step out to work today, believe this promise. Before you leave your home, receive it by faith. The Lord can turn your situation around and fill your days with His goodness. As He blessed the latter days of Job more than the former, He can do the same for you. Trust Him and expect His favor upon your life.

Prayer:
Dear Lord, thank You for the abundant blessings You have poured upon Karunya University through the years. Bless every alumnus, every student, and every family connected with this institution. Let them grow in wisdom, excellence, and spiritual strength. Father, I pray for Your children who are reading this today. Let them experience a divine turnaround in every area of their lives. Bless the work of their hands and prosper their efforts. Restore every loss, heal every hurt, and fill their hearts with contentment. As You blessed Job’s latter days more than his former days, grant them double blessings and abundant favor. Let miracles follow them and let Your name be glorified through their lives. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
