They Prayed Us into The Future
There are moments in life when we realize we are not standing alone — we are standing on prayers that were prayed long before we understood their power.
As a child, I didn’t know that simple acts — helping around the house, sharing meals, kneeling beside an elder in prayer — were shaping the course of my life. I thought it was just family time. Now I understand it was spiritual foundation being laid brick by brick.
Someone before us called our names in prayer. Someone asked God to protect us, guide us, and keep us when they wouldn’t always be here to do it themselves. And those prayers did not expire when they left this earth. They became a covering, a quiet strength, a protection we didn’t even see working.
This is why prayer matters — not only for today, but for generations we may never meet. Prayer reaches where our hands cannot. It guards hearts, opens doors, breaks unseen barriers, and plants hope in places fear once lived.
If you ever feel unseen, unsupported, or uncertain, remember: love spoken to God on your behalf still surrounds you.
And now it’s our turn.
Pray for your family. Pray for the future. Pray through the small things and the big ones. One day, someone will be living inside the prayers you pray today.
