One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts. Psalm 145:4
Author God,
What exciting stories of redemption
you have written in our lives.
Every day of our life,
may we live to tell that story,
in our deeds and in our words.
May we also be intentional
about the legacies we leave
for the next generation of believers,
writing and recording the stories
of how you have performed
your mighty acts in our lives.
Help us to make time to write these stories,
or if we are unable to write them,
to record them through video or audio,
the story of when and how you drew us to yourself,
the story of when you picked us up when we had fallen down (Psalm 145:14),
the story of how you provided for us out of your “abundant goodness” (Psalm 145: 7),
the story of how your power worked miraculous changes (Psalm 145:11),
[name a story of God’s work you’d like to tell.]
As we write and record these stories,
give us the courage to share them with others,
that they too might be inspired to tell the story
of your wonderful goodness,
that all might know the hope of redemption in Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Read Psalm 145.
