Application:  Ask your grandchild what he wants to be when he /she grow up. Discuss the importance of training and discipline in many professions. Help him/her think of some people who need great skill for their important jobs: mechanics, pilots, electricians, surgeons, soldiers, etc.

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