Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those whose families passed down a tradition of faith.
Not everyone grows up in a household of faith. For those who were raised in godly homes, and became believers, most rejoice God not only saved Israel, but he also saved one or more of their family members.
Psalm 22:4-5 pays homage to this history:
“In you our fathers trusted; they trusted,
and you delivered them.
To you they cried and were rescued;
in you they trusted and were not put to shame.”
If you are new to walking with the Lord, praise God. You have the privilege of starting a new line of believers. One day a descendent may read Psalm 22 and give thanks for their family’s tradition of faith.
