Lord, Move Me into the Purpose for Which I Was Created
hen my children were growing up, I frequently prayed they would have a sense of who God made them to be and what their purpose was. I had observed so many young people ?oundering around and wasting their lives because they had no idea they were called to something great in the Lord. I had done the same thing when I was young, and I ended up in serious trouble. I certainly wanted more than that for my children. As a result of those prayers, I have never seen my children without a sense of purpose. Now that they are in their 20s, they continue to move in their gifts and their paths are becoming more and more clear. They don’t know the exact details of their future, but they each know that they have one and that it is good. When I wrote The Power of a Praying® Parent and shared my many years of experiences in praying for children, I received a large volume of mail from people telling me how they wished they’d had someone praying for them like that
