Pray for the next generation of children, middle school, and High School Students

Each of us has the opportunity to invest in the next generation. Think about the kids and students in your life at church and at home. Today, stop and pray for them to understand how much Jesus loves them. If you have kids of your own, set aside time with them today to pray for their friends at school who don’t know Jesus.

Deuteronomy 6:4-9
“Listen, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Psalm 78:5-7
For he issued his laws to Jacob; he gave his instructions to Israel. He commanded our ancestors to teach them to their children, so the next generation might know them— even the children not yet born— and they in turn will teach their own children.

So each generation should set its hope anew on God, not forgetting his glorious miracles
and obeying his commands.
