Day 63: Ember Faith Prayer Countdown

We hope that throughout these prayers, it is abundantly evident that we care deeply about our daughter and about her becoming who God has created her to be. God has a calling on each of our lives. Many people believe that God only calls certain people to ministry, but in reality,we are all called to serve God. As we fulfill the general call that God has placed on all those who know and love him (think the Great Commission in Matthew 28), He begins to reveal to us His specific call on our life (to be a teacher, architect, worship leader, counselor, etc.).  Today, we pray that God would reveal to Ember her life's calling and that she would live according to His purpose and plan for her.

You see all things;

You saw me growing, changing in my mother’s womb;

Every detail of my life was already written in Your book;

You established the length of my life before I ever tasted the sweetness of it.

Your thoughts and plans are treasures to me, O God! I cherish each and every one of them!

How grand in scope! How many in number!

 If I could count each one of them, they would be more than all the grains of sand on earth. 

Their number is inconceivable!

Even when I wake up, I am still near to You.

Psalm 139: 16-18 THE VOICE

For you are a holy people, who belong to the Lord your God. 

Of all the people on earth, the Lord your God has chosen you to be his own special treasure.

Deuteronomy 7:6 NLT

Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, 

for you have been called by God.

Ephesians 4:1 NLT

Dear Heavenly Father, we pray that You would give us a desire and give us the strength to live out the calling  You have placed on our lives. Lord, reveal to us our specific calling and help us to walk in that calling. We want to show our daughter what it looks like to live in the center of Your purpose and plan. May Ember know that You have a purpose for her life! In Your perfect time, reveal to her the specific calling You have given her. May she find joy in serving You and living out Your plan for her. This we pray as we faithfully wait for our precious daughter to be born!
