I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you. Genesis 17:7
Dear Almighty Father,
Thank You for the blessing of my children and their children – they were Yours first before they were mine and I know You love them, even more than I do. Father, on this day __________________________, I ask You to make the covenant You made with Abraham, with me.
Father, bless my descendants with Your mighty presence and Spirit and draw them close to You. Place Your words on their lips, Your wonderful life giving words dear Lord.
“As for me, this is my covenant with them,” says the Lord. “My Spirit, who is on you, will not depart from you, and my words that I have put in your mouth will always be on your lips, on the lips of your children and on the lips of their descendants—from this time on and forever,” says the Lord. Isaiah 59:21
Father, I humbly ask You to make this covenant with me – may all my descendants experience the joy, the love, the power and purpose of Your mighty Son, Jesus, in their lives – for all generations to come. May the Spirit of God, take the Word of God and bring it to life in the hearts of all those whom I love.
“Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. Isaiah 60:1
Father, Your glorious light, the light of Your Son, Jesus, fills me by the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. I rejoice Father, in Your glory as You, Lord, rise upon me. Bless my descendants Lord, so all may feel the light rise upon them as well; may Your glory Lord, flow through them so all may walk in Your light, Your way, Your truth, sharing in Your glorious eternal kingdom which begins here in their earthly home and continues for all eternity where we will all be together with You, forever. May we all feel the activity of God in and around our lives, and join in when the Holy Spirit leads us. May we always walk faithfully with Christ Jesus each and every day and seek Your will.
Be merciful Lord, be gracious to all my descendants. Strengthen their faith – may we live out our lives in a way in which You are glorified Lord, for Your very presence within us guides and moves us in Your ways, always, and it is in Your strong name, Jesus, I pray to the Father; the covenant making, covenant keeping God.
Amen
