PRAYING FOR THE NEXT GENERATIONWe are in that time of the year where most people make resolutions... To start something new and also to change..(which is not bad)Who has young children might probably agree that children make no resolutions…for them there is no new year, but just continuation...And so shall it be. We need to pray that our children fit in the routine to acknowledge God’s presence in their life, thank and praise Him. What a blessing to see them daily growing in Jesus. One might agree that resolutions should be made. Let one of them be evangelism…let us reach out for children in our community, prayerfully sharing the Good news with them. Finally let us also not forget those young ones that tasted God’s goodness but have fallen from their faith. God hears the prayers of the just.
