A Prayer to Help Future Generations Come to Know the Lord
Family traditions are powerful threads that connect generations — reminders of who we are, where we’ve come from, and how God has worked in our story. In today’s prayer devotional, Rachael Adams, host of The Love Offering, reflects on her grandmother “Munder” and the beautiful ways her faith and love continue to shape family gatherings even after she’s gone. Through recipes, celebrations, and stories, Rachael’s family keeps alive both her memory and the message of God’s goodness.
In Scripture, God Himself established holy days and traditions so His people would continually remember His faithfulness. These rhythms of remembrance weren’t just rituals — they were living testimonies passed from one generation to the next. As we create and continue our own family traditions, we, too, can honor God by making Him the center of our celebrations.
May this prayer inspire you to celebrate God’s work in your life, preserve your faith heritage, and intentionally pass it on — so that future generations will know and love the Lord.
Today's Bible Reading:
“This is a day you are to commemorate; for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the LORD—a lasting ordinance.” – Exodus 12:14

🙏 Let’s Pray
Lord,
Thank You for the faithful generations who came before me and for the ways they lived out their love for You. Help me to honor You through the traditions I continue and the new ones I create. May my life reflect Your goodness so that my family — and future generations — will come to know and trust You.
Teach me to celebrate Your provision in both big and small moments, and to make You the center of every gathering, every story, and every celebration. You are worthy of all remembrance and praise.
Amen.
