March-Destiny/Tallents

Good Morning Parents,

I hope everyone has had a great week. My family is doing great. We are in the middle of trusting God for His direction in several areas of our lives. I find great trust in the scripture Ps 32:8 were God saids "I will instruct you in the way you should go and will counsel you with my own eye." That is pretty awesome to know that the creator of this world promises to show me the right way to go. I hope that this blog is encouraging you as parents to pray using God's Word to cover the different areas of your child's life. I love this months focus. One of my daughters is very focused towards a specific goal. She knows what she wants to do as far as college and career (now I know that can change as it does often with teenagers and college students - LOL) but for now she is focused. My other daughter -granted younger- has no real idea as to what she may want to do in life. For both girls I know how important it is to have God's guideness and blessing on their lives. I so desire for them to trust and hear God's voice for their lives.

I hope you find hope and courage in these verses this week. My prayer for you parents is that "God would help you to be the parents you need to be so that your children would grow up and be the man or woman of God that He created them to be."

Heavenly Father, thank You for the promise that Your gifts ar irrevocable. I pray for my my child(ren) today that he/she would function within the gifts and talents You have placed in him/her. I pray blessings over my child(ren) today.

Parents, God's Word is so powerful. I love how it tells us that once He gives a gift it can't be taken away. How awesome would it be for our children to understand their gifts and talents at an early age and be able to walk in them and you be able to see that grow and see God use those gifts to touch other people's lives. I pray that you would journal this week and ask God to reveal what He has placed inside of your children. Pray over that specifically and journal what God is doing and doors that are being opened.
Blessings to each of you this week.
