Prayer, Purpose and the NEXT GENERATION

Well, as I stated in my first post, please don't expect daily post- I am a woman of wonderful intentions, but unfortunately, not so wonderful with follow through :)

Today's key verse is one of my favorites- Acts 13:36

"For when David had served "GOD'S PURPOSE" in his own generation, he then died..."

This post will be short, as my 7 month old is starting to wake up, but one beautiful way that we can serve GOD'S PURPOSE in our own generation - is praying for the upcoming generation and teaching them the truths about God.

"If you want to know the will of God, it's found in the Word of God" unknown

One of the greatest joys I've discovered is praying God's Word over my son.

Beth Moore states that one piece of dynamite is powerful, but you put two together and it can truly demolish strongholds. (taken from the book PRAYING GOD'S WORD)

Thus, I am including a simple way that I have found of praying Scripture for this upcoming generation... Praying it alphabetically! (This is the teacher in me coming out!) For the next few days, or should I say the next few post, whenever they may be :) I will strive to give us examples of how to fulfill God's Purpose of praying His Word over the NEXT GENERATION!!

Thanks for stopping by and Blessings from the Hollowell Home!!
