Prayer reaches into the future

Reach into the future through prayer,

For my son and my son-in-law,

To flourish in their youth,

Like well-nurtured plants and finish strong to the end;

For my daughter and daughter-in-law

To be like graceful pillars,

Carved by Jesus Christ to beautify the palace,

Strong and sturdy to bear the weight of life.

May all the generations of my descendants

Be fruitful for God in the everlasting Kingdom.

(Psalm 144:12)
