Prayer for your Grandchildren’s Mother

 

By Lillian Penner

 

Dear Lord, I want to thank you for the mothers of my grandchildren.
 
Help them to value their children in the same way You value them.
 
I pray they will be committed to the responsibility You have given them
 
to teach our grandchildren to love You and train them
 
according to your parenting manual, God’s Word.
 
Give them wisdom to manage their time
 
so they will be able to take the time to teach
 
our grandchildren the ways of the Lord.
 
Give them wisdom in how to nurture and care for our dear grandchildren.
 
I pray they will be loving and caring mothers.
 
May our grandchildren see their home and family as a “safe place.”
 
Help their mothers to rule their home well, not provoking the children to anger.
 
Help them to be fair and understand our grand children as You understand us.
 
Pour out your Spirit upon them as they parent my dear grandchildren.
 
Bless their homes.
 
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

It’s the time of year when college-aged grandchildren are shopping for dorm room or apartment supplies as they prepare to begin a new adventure away from the home in which they grew up. No longer “children” but not yet independent adults. Grandparents must adjust their methods of connection with those I lovingly refer to as “chronological adults.”
