A Prayer for Vision

(Please forgive my tardiness in posting from my prayer time on Saturday. We are in a season of travel and were in the middle of a sixteen hour drive that day.)

I asked the Lord what He wanted the prayer time focused on, and immediately I believe He told me to spend this focused prayer time on Vision and Purpose for the Children of the Body. 

Because of the intense propaganda campaign the evil one uses against young people in our culture, those called by The Name must intentionally speak about and encourage the understanding of the principle of generational Vision and Purpose. Our children must learn to ask Him to reveal His Plan for them, for how He intends to use them to bring Glory to Himself. They need to see that the way the world defines purpose and meaning in life is an illusion, a counterfeit, for the Truth. The world's view of purpose and meaning is empty and hollow, never bringing fulfillment and peace. However, when those called by His Name walk in Vision they walk in the fullness of what He designed them to be.

And so, the prayer of my heart for this week is that the Children of the Body will press into His Heart to capture His Vision for what He desires to accomplish through them, so they may walk in that Purpose all the days of their lives. I pray their parents will speak this blessing over them and help them refine and focus their God-given Gifts to be used in bringing about their Life Purpose. When they truly understand what He designed them to be and do, the lies of the enemy about their purpose are revealed as the hollow, lifeless illusion they really are.
