Grandfather’s Prayer

by | Jun 14, 2009 | 0 comments

Children are a gift from the Lord  Psalm 126:3 NLT

Heavenly Father, your Word proclaims that children are a gift from God. My children have blessed me with many grandchildren and I thank you for each one. I pray that will carry on Your hope to our future generations.

My prayer for each grandchild is that they will experience your fullness in their daily walk with You. May they desire to live for you, guard their steps, and draw near to You, experiencing Your love for them.

In times of testing may their minds be drawn to you, causing them to remember your Word, and give them that way to escape as you’ve promised. In addition, help them to honor you through the life you’ve given to them.

Help me, as their grandparent to reflect a clear image of You through the life you given to me. I trust You to give me patience and love to influence, and encourage them into your grace.

I commit each one into your care and blessing.  It’s in your precious name I pray. Amen

“Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged.”
Proverbs 17:6  NLT

We’d like to hear from you…

Recently, I programmed my phone’s GPS to guide me to a specific location, and somehow I ended up with two AI women giving me directions at the same time. To make things more confusing, they weren’t giving me the same directions. This experience reminds us that many “voices” compete for our grandchildren’s attention. Some voices impart truth; others don’t.

Grandparenting Without Overstepping

Most of us also remember what it felt like when our own parents interfered in our parenting. We didn’t appreciate it then—and our kids won’t now. So how do we stay involved without overstepping?
