Legacy, A Promise and A Prayer

Today’s posting is written in prayer form. The prayer is based upon 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 within 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.

Roy,

Thanks for this wonderful prayer. I stopped what I was doing and prayed it for our lovely daughters, who, thanks to God, are godly women!

A very timely word, Roy. A friend is crying out to the Lord for her children today. Thank you, Lord! (I posted this on facebook for a concert of prayer!)

I believe; when we pray ; The Cry of our Heart poured out to the Lord such as these prayer thoughts, that are written in this devotional , is a powerful exercise / example of the " Cry of the Heart."This is something, you and I can count on, guaranteed by our Father who is in Heaven . Jeremiah 33:3..........."Call unto Me, in the day of trouble ; ( at the moment, anytime, day or night ) ( whatever concerns you / we may have) ,.........I will hear, and I will answer you , and show you great and mighty things ..... In another place in Gods word we find these words : out of the depths of this poor mans / persons heart, he / she cried unto the Lord, and He heard him / her and , "Answered " him / her Psalm 34:6. Psalm 130: 1-2.There is a quote I love about Gods intense watch care over "His Children", the quote goes something like this : God is leaning out of heavens window, waiting, watching, listening for them to call upon Him for help. He ; the Lord, our God never loses sight of us, and is longing for us to "Call on Him" to share the cry of our heart. Awesome ! Doris Black
