Purpose and Directin Lord, I pray that Steve will clearly hear the call You have on his life. Help him to realize who he is in Christ and give him certainty that he wascreated for a high purpose. May the eyes of his understanding be enlightened sothat he will know what is the hope of Your calling (Ephesians 1:18).Lord, when You call us, You also enable us. Enable him to walk worthy of his calling and become the man of God You made him to be. Continue to remind him of what You’ve called him to and don’t let him get sidetracked with things that are unessential to Your purpose. Strike down discouragement so that it will not defeat him. Lift his eyes above the circumstances of the moment so he can see the purpose for which You created him. Give him patience to wait for Your perfect timing. I pray that the desires of his heart will not be in conflict with the desires of Yours. May he seek You for direction, and hear when You speak to his Soul. Remove all blinders from his eyes that the enemy has placed and unstop his ears, tune his ears to only hear your voice, for a voice of a stranger he will not follow. Destroy any pride or shame in him that refuses to surrender his life to you. Fill him with your Spirit. In Jesus name I pray , amen.
