A PRAYER FOR OUR CHILDREN

O God, your Word promises to bless our children, and our children’s children. Our generations are important to you. We humbly ask that you empower us to devote our time, our resources, and our love to our children. Help us to undergird them with strength to achieve their goals, courage to conquer every obstacle, and compassion during tough times. With each passing day, grace us with the wisdom to shape this next generation—all for your glory. In your blessed name we pray. AMEN.
