Prayers Transcend Time

Most of the time we pray about the things we need right now. After all, Jesus instructed us to pray for our daily bread.

But we pray to a God who is sovereign over time and space. And because of that, our prayers transcend time, impacting people and events far into the future.

In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prayed “for those who will believe in me through [the disciples’] message” (John 17:20). He was praying for you and me!

Ponder:

Who can you pray for now who may not yet exist?

Proclaim:

“But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children—with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.” - Psalm 103:17-18

Pray:

God, I pray for the future generations. I pray for our sons, daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Give them strength to overcome the world. May they hear Your Word, and then obey and believe.
