Have you thought about praying for the many adults who influence your grandchildren? Are the adults involved in your grandchildren’s lives good role models? Adults who have influence on them may be their other grandparents, teachers, principal, coaches, carpool or bus drivers, Sunday school teachers, children’s directors, pastors, youth leaders, neighbors, scout leaders, extra-curricular activity teachers, doctors, etc. Many other adult influences indirectly affect your grandchildren, including elected and appointed officials, (local, state, and federal), TV producers, developers of electronic games, musicians, textbook authors, members of the media, fashion designers, etc.

Ask your grandchildren for their teachers’ names, and, if possible, meet their teachers and others involved in their lives so you know for whom you are praying. If you have an opportunity to tell them, you are praying for them.

A Prayer for their Teachers

Dear Father, bless grandchild’s name____ teachers with strength, joy, and favor,

having a peaceful transition with their new students and parents.

I pray they will make the children feel safe, protecting them

from verbal, emotional, and physical abuse.

I pray each teacher will have a strong sense of purpose.

Give them wisdom, patience, creativity, insight and perseverance.

Give them a special love for each student

so the students will feel loved, accepted, and comfortable.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
