God's Little Boy is...Hard Working

A fool sits around and dreams of plenty,
Failing to rise and work intently.
But a wise little boy works hard and long,
Doing his chores while he hums a song.
The person who works his land will have plenty of food.
But the one who chases useless dreams isn't wise.
Proverbs 12:11

Dear Lord, we ask that you would give Joshua your spirit of being hardworking. We pray that he would not be lazy, but you would give him a fervor for doing good, being available and willing to work, and we ask that you would give him favor in whatever he sets out to do. May he be the type of person that you can count on to 'get the job done,' be there on time, work efficiently, not call off without a good reason and be respected in his career choices and whatever work he needs to do for his family someday. Help us, also, Lord to work hard and be joyful in the process. We love you and praise you. In Jesus' name, AMEN!
