“One man gives freely, yet gains even more;
Another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty” Proverbs 11:24.

Lord, it has been said that we can never out-give You.
Your economic principles regarding giving are so very different from the world’s view.
I pray that my grandchild will learn early that the more she gives, the more she will receive!
I also pray that my grandchild would not withhold any of his/her resources,
but would be eager to share them with those in need.

Application: Read the story of the loaves and the fishes to your grandchild (seamark 6:35-44). Talk about what happened when a young boy shared his dinner with Jesus.

This prayer suggestion is used by permission from “My Grandmother is. . . praying for me” by Kathryn March, Pamela Ferris, and Susan Kelton. They are three ordinary grandmothers desiring to pray for the next generation to become men and women of strong character and great faith. They have a verse from the Proverbs, a prayer for the verse and an application for each day of the year. I have found the book an excellent resource for praying from my grandchildren, especially for character development. You may order the book from their website: www.mygrandmotheris.com.
