I pray that You would reveal to my child what his/her life work is to be and help him/her excel in it. Bless the work of his/her hands, and may he/she be able to earn a good living doing the work he/she loves and does best. (Power of a Praying Parent, Stormie Omartian)
We start asking our children when they're fairly young..."what do you want to be when you grow up"? To take the focus off of their will and plant a seed of submission; the question should be, "what do you think God wants you to be when you grow up"? My pastor often says that significance is better than success. When we focus our children on doing what God wants them to do (and if their will aligns with His will for them), he/she will love what they do and they will do it very well.
Heavenly Father, we declare that the work of our children's hands will be fruitful and productive. The wage that he/she earns will be a livable wage and one that he/she deserves. Our sons and daughters will not take jobs because of the salary, but any position he/she accepts will be purposed in You and an assignment for the kingdom. In Jesus name, Amen!
