A Grandmother’s Prayer

Grandmothers… A special prayer to pray as you pray for your grandchildren this week.

Dear God,
I am grateful for the sweet grandchildren you have given to me.
•    I pray you will give me the grace to be a “Grammy” who loves, accepts, leads and guides them with your love.
•    I want to model my faith in Jesus so they will be to encouraged put their faith in you early in their lives.
•    I pray they will develop a compassionate heart with a desire to serve others.
•    When discouraged, may they trust you for their hope for a future and develop perseverance during hard times.
•    May they enjoy hard work and find joy and contentment in each day despite difficult circumstances.
•    Help them to enjoy the small things in their lives and take time to smell the roses and notice the beautiful clouds in the sky.
•    I trust they will seek new experiences in your creation around them in place of material possessions.
•    I pray they will hold their possessions loosely and give cheerfully to your work.
•    My desire is for them to develop a strong prayer life as they grow in their faith.
•    Above all, may they seek your guidance in everything they do and may Jesus’ love shine through them to everyone.                 
In Jesus’ Name, Amen
