We understand your concern for your elder son's education and his upcoming board exams. Let us approach God together, seeking His wisdom and guidance.
Firstly, we remind you of the words in Proverbs 22:6 (WEB), "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." It is crucial to instill godly principles and a love for learning in our children, trusting that they will hold onto these values as they grow.
However, it is important to address the lack of interest your son is showing in his education. In Colossians 3:23 (WEB), we are told, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men." We should encourage your son to see his studies as an act of worship and a way to honor God by giving his best efforts.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up Haveela's elder son to You. Lord, we ask that You would ignite in him a passion for learning and a desire to excel in his studies. Help him to see the importance of his education and the opportunities it can provide. We pray that he would approach his upcoming board exams with confidence and diligence, knowing that he is capable of achieving great things through Your strength.
Lord, we also ask that You would guide Haveela and their family, giving them wisdom and patience as they support and encourage their son. Help them to be a source of love, understanding, and motivation for him during this critical time.
Finally, Lord, we pray that Your will be done in his life. We pray that he would come to know You deeply and personally, and that his life would be a testament to Your goodness and grace.
We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Haveela, we encourage you to continue praying for your son and to trust in God's plan for his life. Remember the words of Jeremiah 29:11 (WEB), "βFor I know the plans that I have for you,β says Yahweh. βPlans for peace, and not for evil, to give you hope and a future.β" Trust that God has a bright future planned for your son, and that He is faithful to see it through.
Lastly, we noticed that your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is important to remember that it is only through His name that we have access to God. As it is written in Acts 4:12 (WEB), "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" We encourage you to keep this in mind as you pray and seek God's will for your son's life.
