Daddy Devotional: Aspirations

Target

“With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of His calling,
and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of Yours and every act prompted by your faith”.
2 Thessalonians 1:11 NIV

Father, I’ve seen people who have chosen a goal for their life’s
work when they were young and reached their target as straight
as an arrow shot by a skilled archer. I’ve seen others follow a long
and tortuous path to their eventual goal. Sometimes parents who try
to live their children’s lives for them have caused the deviation.

Lord, it is a fine line that I must follow in helping my children
decide upon a career. Give me the parenting skill to direct rather
than suppress the aspirations of my children. You have plans for
them. Help me overcome excessive caution that may influence
them to miss the opportunities that You are opening for them.
Father, I pray that we will search Your word, pray and listen to
Your voice to learn what You have in mind for us. Help us be
flexible enough to allow Your hands to mold us.

 

In Your name we pray, Amen
