Psalm 78:4-7
“⁴ We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done. ⁵ He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach their children, ⁶ so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children. ⁷ Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget his deeds but would keep his commands.”
Every generation has a responsibility to pass on the goodness and faithfulness of God to the next. Children, young people and young adults are not merely the future of the church; they are part of the church today. As we pray for them, we ask God to raise up a generation whose confidence is firmly rooted in Christ.
Prayer: Lord, draw young people to You. Strengthen parents, carers and leaders, and let many discover a living relationship with Jesus.
