My Prayer

Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God,
till I declare your power to the next generation, your might to all who
are to come.
-- Psalm 71:18

THOUGHT:

In the beautiful hymn entitled, "O Sacred Head," the final verse
ends with this plea: "Lord, let me never, never, outlive my love to
thee." To this sentiment we want to add one other: "Lord, let me
never, never, die until the next generation knoweth thee!"

PRAYER:

Lord God Almighty, the great I AM, help me and those in my
generation to pass on an appreciation of your power and glory to
those who come after us. Bless your Church's future with many more
continuous generations of faith after me or until that day you send
your Son to bring your people home. In the name of my coming Lord,
Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
