Do you sometimes wonder how to pray for your teenage grandchildren? With all their activities and friends, we don’t see them as much, and it’s just hard to communicate with them. It can be difficult to know how to pray for them. Here are some suggestions that I have found to be helpful.

Pray they will:

• Be motivated, disciplined, and challenged to apply themselves in their studies in order to achieve academic excellence.

• Experience the reality of Jesus Christ in their lives, as they grow strong in their faith.

• be protected from the deception of the world.

• be covered with God’s safekeeping physically, spiritually, and emotionally.

• date wisely (which leads to a life’s partner).

• Be sexually pure.

• Have open communication and good relationships with their parents.

• Choose friends who will have a positive influence.

• Use their time wisely.

• Be involved in a Bible-based church youth group

• Desire spiritual growth
