Grandfather’s Prayer

by | Jun 14, 2009 | 0 comments

Children are a gift from the Lord  Psalm 126:3 NLT

Heavenly Father, your Word proclaims that children are a gift from God. My children have blessed me with many grandchildren and I thank you for each one. I pray that will carry on Your hope to our future generations.

My prayer for each grandchild is that they will experience your fullness in their daily walk with You. May they desire to live for you, guard their steps, and draw near to You, experiencing Your love for them.

In times of testing may their minds be drawn to you, causing them to remember your Word, and give them that way to escape as you’ve promised. In addition, help them to honor you through the life you’ve given to them.

Help me, as their grandparent to reflect a clear image of You through the life you given to me. I trust You to give me patience and love to influence, and encourage them into your grace.

I commit each one into your care and blessing.  It’s in your precious name I pray. Amen

“Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged.”
Proverbs 17:6  NLT
Share with your friends

We’d like to hear from you…

It’s the time of year when college-aged grandchildren are shopping for dorm room or apartment supplies as they prepare to begin a new adventure away from the home in which they grew up. No longer “children” but not yet independent adults. Grandparents must adjust their methods of connection with those I lovingly refer to as “chronological adults.”
