City

Hebrews 11:10

​Abraham was waiting for the city that has real foundations—the city planned and built by God.

 

​All of us, as followers of Jesus, are here because of the legacy of those who’ve gone before us.  Abraham is one of those.  And this week’s prayers are inspired by his journey as we in turn think about the legacy we’re passing on to the next generation of Jesus followers.  This means we’re compelled to ask the question- what are we passing on?   Are we stewarding the way of Christ well?  Is the way of life we’re handing on defined by the values we see hinted at in Abraham’s story?  

Lord, we’re back at the beginning, longing for that place that has real foundations, the city built by God, the Kingdom of God, Heaven itself. 

We want to join Abraham and be known as people who long for that city.  So, we ask that you partner with us as we anticipate the life we’ll have in your city –your Heaven.  May our lives mirror those we’ll have then.  And may we in turn teach our kids – the next generation – to anticipate heaven well, knowing that it is you that builds it.  

 

Thank you for Abraham, thank you for the heavenly city, thank you for choosing us to pass on your legacy.
