A prayer of Abraham

 

Fads change. Technology continues to advance. Cultural customs and social traditions don't approve of something one year, but later say it’s okay. 

However, God does not change, and neither do the basic needs of people. We all need water, food, clothing, shelter, and love. No matter the time or place, caring parents want the best for their children.

This brief Bible prayer of Abraham undoubtedly speaks for parents, grandparents, and other caretakers today.

 

Genesis 17:18

Oh, that my child
might live in Your
presence, Lord,
and be under Your
blessing!

 

Yes! Amen!
