Today we want to discuss the future generations and families. In the midst of the fleeting events that happen or are happening in the world, we should also remember the wisdom of God. Which shows the way to nurture and protect our families. On which we can build our future.
We see in the lives of Abraham and Sarah who were concerned about their own descendants and believed in God’s promises. Despite their old age, they believed in God’s plan for their future generations, didn’t they? We should learn from this that by loving God and faithfully trusting God in His promises, we will build the future of our new generations and families.
Moreover, we cannot forget the importance of prayer in our family life. It is essential for us to pray together as a family. Because we will not achieve anything unless we bring the matters of our family and future generations to God. Through prayer, we can bring God’s blessings to our loved ones. Prayer acts as a powerful weapon where peace and faith will come.
So Christian brothers and sisters, let us commit ourselves to doing what we can to make an impact on our families and future generations. Let us, as parents and grandparents, joyfully and with full responsibility, take on our role as counselors through the divine message. In doing so, let us create a future hope for our families and future generations.
