If you are like most grandparents, you tend to worry about your grandchildren’s safety. So many things can happen to them, like injuries, sickness, abduction or etc. As grandparents, we are not only concerned about their physical safety, but also their emotional and spiritual safety.

The media-driven culture is trying to desensitize our grandchildren and many of their role models are disappointing them. When we look at events happening in our world, it is hard not to get discouraged. As grandparents, we often fear for our grandchildren’s future, living in these immoral and financial unstable times.

I have been reading Sarah Young’s devotional book, Jesus Calling. She writes, “Entrust your loved ones to Me; release them into My protective care. They are much safer with Me than in your clinging hands. If you let a loved one become an idol in your heart, you endanger that one—as well as yourself.” ¹

The enemy wants to distract us from our joy in the Lord by causing us to worry about our grandchildren. We must entrust our loved ones to the Lord then we will experience peace while the Lord is accomplishing His will in their lives.

Paul writes in Romans 8:26-27, “The Holy Spirit knows our needs, and He knows God’s will for us.” When I don’t know how to pray for my grandchildren I ask the Holy Spirit to make intercession for me.

Are you praying everyday for God to place a hedge of protection around your grandchildren physically, emotionally, and spiritually?

Lord, accomplish Your will in my grandchildren’s lives today.
