For His Renown

Dr. Michael Youssef shares a vivid picture of spiritual inheritance: hearing his grandfather pray through the night for the next generation. It’s a reminder that we can build impressive lives on the outside while our spiritual homes quietly crumble on the inside—unless we return to the only foundation that holds: prayerful dependence on God.

In this episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Youssef explains why our children gain confidence in God when they see us clinging to His promises—and why neglecting prayer for (and with) the next generation leaves them spiritually unsure, untethered, and vulnerable to losing biblical moorings.

You’ll be challenged to shift from chasing worldly success to pursuing spiritual stability that endures—calling on the Lord for:

• your home,
• your city,
• your nation,
• and especially the hearts of sons and daughters who will carry the faith forward.

Behind many men and women God has used powerfully, someone was interceding. This devotional invites you to become that someone—trusting God to cultivate wisdom, strengthen resolve, deepen love for Him, and form the next generation into bold, faithful witnesses for His glory.

Prayer: Father, I pray that my children would trust You as they see me cling to Your promises. I pray that You would work in their lives and that they would have a deep, growing relationship with You. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

“Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you” (Jeremiah 29:12).
