Legacy, A Promise, and A Prayer
Today’s posting is written in prayer form. The prayer is based on a promise from Scripture. It can be prayed on behalf of anyone, however, it is written as a prayer for your children or grandchildren.
The memory of the righteous will be a blessing. Proverbs 10:7 NIV
Father, I thank You that You bless our lives so that we can be a blessing to others. I pray that by Your grace and power You will work with my children the things that will help them to bring encouragement and enrichment to the lives of those they touch.
Give to them the soothing words that will heal a hurting heart; the wise words that will guide a seeking heart; the assuring words that will comfort a grieving heart; the accepting words that will embrace a lonely heart; the affirming words that will strengthen a fearful heart; the life-giving words that will fill an empty heart.
I pray that through the testimony of the lives of my children there will be others who know You better and love You more. May there be many who will say of them, “I thank God for you.” I ask that through their choices, their faith, and their obedience to Your will, my children will leave a legacy that will impact their generation and generations to come.
