Father, thank You for this wonderful promise of reward to those who humbly trust in You. Please give my grandchild the discernment to accept the time and place of these rewards. Help him/her to gratefully receive Your blessings here on earth and to patiently await those rewards to be enjoyed in heaven. Whatever Your plan for his/her life, may his/her primary focus be not on the gifts she/he receives, but on the Giver.

Application:  Tell your grandchild the story of Joseph from Genesis 37-47. Relate how Joseph had to humble himself many times and how he feared the Lord rather than man. The result was wealth, honor, and life—not only for himself, but for all of Israel.

The 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.
