“The desire of the righteous ends only in good,
but the hope of the wicked only in wrath.”
-Proverbs 11:23
Father, I pray that the desires of my grandchild will
always be focused on You. May his/her actions be motivated
by that which is “true, noble, right, pure, lovely,
admirable, excellent and praiseworthy” (Philippians 4:8)
As his/she matures in his understanding of You and Your love,
may his life reflect an eager anticipation of all the good
You have for him in Christ Jesus.
Application: Give a gift to your grandchild. Discuss how we can also expect good gifts from God because of His great love for us.
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.
