A
BETTER GENERATION
We
will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation
about the glorious deeds of the LORD, about his power and his mighty wonders.
Psalm
78:4 NLT
Dear Lord and Precious Father,
We
praise You for being timeless. We thank You for being omnipresent and
omniscient. Bless Your holy name for creating the family unit and having a
place in Your heart for the fatherless and the widow. It is with great purpose
that You have created "family". Each family You have knitted together
is fearfully and wonderfully made and all their ordained days have already been
written in Your book of destiny.
We
understand that in praying for an educational revival in this country, we must
also lay the family structure of this country on the altar before You. Forgive
this country's disregard for what You have ordained as the sacred family unit.
Forgive this country for every tv show, book, political view, religious
acceptance and blind eye turned away from the Truth that has altered this
country's foundational principles of family which were built on the Word of
God.
As
You empower us to restore the family unit to reflect Your will, turn the hearts
of the fathers back to the children. As parents and grandparents read the Word
of God, may they begin to speak to their children and grandchildren about the
wonders of Your hands. Release the truth of Your goodness from the tongues of
parents throughout this country. Teach parents to bless their children.
We
declare that one generation will praise Your name to the next. This current
generation and those that are rising up will be greater than those before them.
They will acknowledge where their help comes from. They will declare Your
wonders. They will meditate on Your goodness and they will boldly proclaim Your existence
in the hallways, classrooms, fields, courts, lecture halls, playgrounds, school
buses, dorm rooms, cafeterias, locker rooms...where ever their feet go, their
mouths will proclaim, "Jesus is Lord and He is the Way, the Truth and the
Light."
This generation and those to follow will lift You up and You
will draw all men unto You.
In Your great and holy name Jesus,
-Amen
