A Prayer about Telling Future Generations about the Lord

Posterity will serve him; future generations will be told about the Lord. Psalm 22:30

Gracious Father,

Whether we have grandchildren or not, 

we admit Lord, 

we can collapse into worry 

about future generations. 

With all of the uncertainty 

about the economy, global health, politics, religious persecution, 

what will life be like for them? 

Faithful Lord, please recenter us 

that we may let go of our worry 

and pray about the matters that matter the most:

Show us how best to proclaim 

your righteousness, 

your goodness, 

and your grace 

to the future generations.

Show us how to humble ourselves 

that we might show future generations 

your love and delight in them.

Give us the words to tell the stories of our lives 

that reveal 

your kindness 

and wisdom 

and redemption.

Help us to live out 

our complete and utter dependence on you 

in a way that attracts future generations 

to a life of trust in you.

As we live and pray and speak the good news of the gospel, 

may future generations be drawn 

to seek your face, 

to trust in your salvation.

In Jesus’ child-loving name. Amen. 

Read Psalm 22:25-31; Psalm 78:1-8.
