Lord, I ask on behalf of my grandchild for a humble, teachable spirit. Please open his heart and mind to those around him who are older and wiser. Do not let pride and arrogance hinder him from learning from those godly people You have placed in his life to guide him. Help him to emulate their disciplines and faith-filled spirits.

Application: Ask your grandchild, “Who is your hero (or heroine)? Whom do you most admire?” Discuss the people in your local community who have been honored as a result of their hard work and discipline-athletes, musicians, students, etc.

Taken from “My Grandmother is. . .praying for me” March 24 .

This Prayer suggestion is used by permission from “My Grandmother is. . . praying for me” by Kathryn March, Pamela Ferris, and Susan Kelton. They are three ordinary grandmothers desiring to pray for the next generation to become men and women of strong character and great faith. They have a verse from the Proverbs, a prayer for the verse and an application for each day of the year. I have found the book an excellent resource for praying from my grandchildren, especially for character development. You may order the book from their website:  www.mygrandmotheris.com.
