God's Little Boy is...Disciplined

Folks who love to stay in bed
Miss the thrills of the day ahead.
God's little boy gets up at dawn,
Happy to help 'til the day is gone.
The lazy person is like a door that turns back and forth on its hinges.
He stays in bed and turns over and over.
Proverbs 26:14
Dear God, we thank you for little Joshua and what joy he brings to our lives. I thank you for healing him physically and working on him spiritually and mentally. We pray for continued learning for him, especially with building his vocabulary. But, most importantly, we pray that he would grow to be a man after your own heart. Please help him to be self-disciplined to accomplish whatever tasks you've called him to do. We pray that he would be motivated to wake up early and put forth effort until the day is done. We also pray against laziness in the name of Jesus. This is a sin that can overtake us all and make our good intentions meaningless. Please help Joshua to be disciplined instead. We thank you for speaking into his life with your word and wisdom and Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name, AMEN!
