But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Galatians 5:23 NLT

Love
Love is an intense feeling of tender affection and compassion. It is unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another:

Ask God to plant His love in the hearts of your grandchildren so they will constantly be aware of His presence at all times.
Pray they will constantly be aware of God’s love for them.

Pray they will invite him into their hearts and be rooted and established in His love and His Word.

Pray they will allow God’s love to flow through them to their families, friends and others.

Joy
Joy is a feeling of great pleasure or to delight in something or evoked by well-being and success.

Ask God to give a joyful happy heart to your grandchildren.
Pray they will find joy in being successful in school and their other activities.
Enable them to experience the joy of the Lord to be their strength, especially when going through difficult circumstances.

Peace
Peace is a state of calmness and quiet, freedom from disturbing thoughts of emotion. A peaceful person will feel secure and in harmony in his personal relationships.

Ask God to fill their hearts with a quiet calm spirit.
Pray they will experience God’s peace, even when going through difficult situations.
Pray that God’s peace will overflow from their hearts to others.
Pray they will feel secure in their family and school situations.
