Generational Prayer: Leaving a Legacy Beyond Our Lifetime

Sweet friend, did you know your prayers don’t stop at the ceiling of the room you are in? They are timeless, treasured by God, and stored close to His heart. Revelation 8 tells us that our prayers “rise like incense before the Lord,” and because He lives outside of time, so do our prayers!

That means when you pray for your children, you are also sowing into your grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and beyond. As E.M. Bounds wrote, “Prayers are deathless. They outlive the lives of those who uttered them.”

Maybe today you’re praying through tears, whispering words of hope in the middle of the night, or crying out for a child who seems far from God. Don’t give up. Don’t judge your children in the middle of their story. Your prayers are weaving into God’s greater plan—one you may not fully see this side of heaven.

 Keep praying.
 Keep believing.
 Keep surrendering.

The enemy would love to silence your prayers, but Jesus reminds us: “These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name…” (Mark 16:17). Your prayers move heaven and accomplish unusual results.

So tonight, when God wakes you, see it as an invitation. Pray. Declare His Word. Surrender every worry into His hands. And remember—your prayers are not just for today, they are a gift for generations to come.

 “Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.” —Psalm 81:10

Deb Weakly

Co-founder at Help Club for Moms

My name is Deb Weakly and I helped create the Help Club for Moms with one goal in mind: to create a community in which moms help moms to know the love of Christ. My own childhood was difficult and filled with sadness. I didn’t grow up in a Christian home, so when I became a Christian (and soon after, a mom), I had no idea what I was doing; I didn’t know what it meant to raise Christ-centered kids, but I so desperately wanted to learn.

I remember going into my daughter's room night after night and kneeling beside her bed and crying my heart out to God because I didn’t know how to be a Christian mom; I felt like I had no idea what I was doing. You know what? God is so faithful! He answered me and simply said, “Spend time with me, Deb.” And so I did. I began arising 15-30 minutes earlier each day so I could read my Bible and pray, and plan out my day with my family.

If there was one thing I would love to share with you is that God is personal and loves you as you are. You don’t have to be perfect to be loved by our amazing God! Come as you are! His loving presence can be practically known and experienced. He is not a God who is far away, He is near and easily found. He longs for you to come to Him!

Randy and I have been married for 33 years and we have two grown children, Christie, and Jack, and one answer to prayer son-in-law named Alex. And now I get to be a Gigi to my sweet little grandbabies, Aspen and Skylar, and Piper. Yay!
