Here’s a three-part strategy to help yourself or the young person in your life choose the right
subjects:
The three things young people should consider doing to prep for GCSE
and the future
1) Let’s get prayerful!
Let’s teach our young people to approach this subject spiritually, prayerfully, telling
them about God’s promises regarding their future
Psalm 25
The Lord will instruct them in the ways they should choose… The LORD confides in
those who fear him;
2) Get to know yourself better!
Encourage your young person to take some time out to simply find out what they really
enjoy doing.
The bible tells us that it is God who places the deep desires on our heart (Psalm 37) to
do something. So, even if you don’t yet know your future career, you can let a deep
desire to do a particular subject to be your guide.
God will never call us to a specific career that goes against the skills, personality type
that he’s given us.
There are some useful packages out there that can help us to make a simple
assessment of their likes and skills and then offers a best-fit career direction
