“He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker,
But whoever is kind to the needy honors God.”
Proverbs 14:31
Father, I pray that my grandchild would honor You by
showing compassion and kindness to those in need.
I pray that she would not overlook opportunities to do good,
but would find many ways to reach out and bless others.
Allow him/her the privilege of sharing Your grace and speaking of him/her faith
so that those he/she helps would see You as the source of his/her graciousness
and would give you the glory.
Application: Make cookies for a shut-in neighbor or nursing home resident. Help your grandchild deliver them with a note, assuring the shut-in of your love
and prayers. ?
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.
