A Prayer for Our

e n b y

Children

G o r d o n R o b e r s o n

As children prepare to go back to school during these unprecedented times, Gordon Robertson invites you to join him in praying this prayer for the next generation. Our heavenly Father, You commanded us to be fruitful and multiply. You commanded us to teach Your commandments to our children. You did this so the world would be replenished and that our children would turn to You. You summon each new generation since the beginning, and so we ask that You summon this generation. We ask that You open their eyes to see Your works, open their ears to hear Your words, and give them a heart of understanding so that they would know the greatness of

Your power. Grant them secure and peaceful marriages, filled with love and honour, so that the generations that follow would walk before You, and live

in the awe of Your presence. We know that just one prayer can last for a thousand generations, and so, we ask for this generation to know You. Forgive us our debts and be our salvation, for without You we perish. We turn to You and Your righteousness. May the Redeemer come to us and our children, and buy back those who have turned from their sins. Establish Your new covenant with us. May Your Spirit never leave us. May Your Word never leave us. May Your Word be on our lips and on the lips of our children and our children’s children forever. Amen.
