Open Eyes For God’s Word

by | Jun 21, 2009 | 0 comments

Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in your law.
Psalm 119:18 (NLT)
Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
and your plans will be successful.

Proverbs 16:3 (NIV)

Pray that your grandchildren will open their eyes to see the wonderful truths in God’s Word.  When they open their eyes to the principles and guidelines in His Word, and follow them, they will be successful. It may not be easy to obey God’s Word, our manual for living.  However, the rewards for obedience are great.

Ask God to adjust their spiritual vision to understand and accept their God-given assignments, to be motivated to pursue them and then to trust God to provide the resources He has already prepared to fulfill those assignments. Then they will find contentment the world cannot provide for them – only God.

Remember that the enemy seeks to distract our grandchildren from pursing their God-given assignments. God’s plan is clearly laid out in His Word, but they must choose to follow His plan wholeheartedly to the end.

God has given us, as their grandparents, an awesome opportunity to partner with Him on their behalf with our prayers.

Helping Grandchildren Discern Truth From Lies

Recently, I programmed my phone’s GPS to guide me to a specific location, and somehow I ended up with two AI women giving me directions at the same time. To make things more confusing, they weren’t giving me the same directions. This experience reminds us that many “voices” compete for our grandchildren’s attention. Some voices impart truth; others don’t.

Grandparenting Without Overstepping

Most of us also remember what it felt like when our own parents interfered in our parenting. We didn’t appreciate it then—and our kids won’t now. So how do we stay involved without overstepping?
