Day 30: A Better Generation

Join with us today and pray our prepared prayer on pages 51 and 52 from the FORTY DAYS OF PRAYER FOR EDUCATION free eBook or pray independently from our focus scripture, Psalm 78:4  and enjoy the accompanying song entitled, "The Latter Rain" by the Alvin Slaughter. 

Continue praying for the word of God to strengthen the family unit in this country. Pray for healing and restoration for the families of your students this school year.

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
