Helping Your Child Discern Their Calling, with Pam Farrel

GET YOUR FREE DEVOTION: Grace to Grow: A 5-Day Study of Patience and Prayer

We’ve been talking all this month about our children’s purpose. And in the big picture, the message that I’ve tried to make run throughout each episode is that the main purpose God has for our children doesn’t have anything to do with what they do for a living, or what job they have, or even what person they marry. Ultimately, God’s purpose, in Christ, for each believer is to love God and love their neighbors as themselves. If we took just an hour, and tried to write down all the ways the Bible tells us to do live this out, we’d quickly find that doing these two things would take up most of our time. And it’s my belief that when we focus our time being faithful to this, God tends to make our paths straight.

But today, I want to talk about learning to see those unique giftings each child has from God so we can help them step into the practical ways God might call them as individuals to love God and love their neighbors. Join me as I interview author, speaker, and mom, Pam Farrel!

Today’s show is brought to you by our newest Prayer Guide, Praying God’s Word for Your Child to Find Their Purpose, by Brittany Ann, of Equipping Godly Women.

Tackle the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” from a biblical perspective.

The way our children answer this common question varies wildly from day to day. From teacher, to fire-fighter, to astronaut, to juggler, we just never know what they’ll say. For young children, this question is full of promise and excitement. They can be anything they want! The sky’s the limit, and it’s fun to dream. But as our children get older, this question takes on new meaning. The excitement of endless possibilities gradually gives way to the pressure of choosing the right college, career, job, or relationship.

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” becomes stressful, almost agonizing, as young adults wrestle with major decisions that will undoubtedly affect the rest of their lives. But what if finding their purpose didn’t have to be so stressful? What if our children could know with confidence exactly what God wants them to do?

In Praying God’s Word for Your Child to Find Their Purpose, you’ll pray for God to work in your children’s hearts to:

  • Draw near to God in sincere faith
  • Be guided by the Holy Spirit
  • Learn how to love sacrificially and with intention
  • Learn to walk in God’s strength instead of their own
  • Find rest in God alone
  • Understand God’s bigger plan
  • Submit their plans to God’s
  • And more!

With biblical teaching, scripture-inspired prayers, and space to journal using our Think, Pray, Praise method of daily prayer, this digital prayer guide is perfect for the busy mom who needs God to move in the hearts of her kids. Learn more here.
