.. generational connections .. a body connected .. every member
Anne Morrow shares about the importance of older people seeing their value and being connected to the younger generation. As the baton is passed, the older generation needs to be encouragers and mothers and fathers in the faith.
SCRIPTURES & PRAYER POINTS:
Call up the older generation… Back into the supportive role in the race … to be loving encouragers, mentors, mothers and fathers.
God will renew His spirit within them
Heal brokenness and disappointment … need to forgive … families
Recover from a rejection mindset and the lie of insignificance.
Pray … Restoring of honour and purpose
Intentional linking with a young person or young family who they will pray for encourage … be there on the sideline shouting for them … keep going … it is worth it … a picture of Hebrews … great cloud of witnesses
New life-giving connections of the older and younger generations.
New confession of the scriptures …
Psalm 92:13-14
Planted in the house of the Lord, they shall flourish in the courts of our God. [Growing in grace] they shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap [of spiritual vitality].
Psalm 71:18
Yes, even when I am old and gray-headed, O God, forsake me not, [but keep me alive] until I have declared Your mighty strength to [this] generation, and Your might and power to all that are to come.
