Guard Against Pollution-Prayer Suggestion

By grandparenting 14 years agoNo Comments

 Last night in our small group Bible study, we were studying James 1:27 where James is telling the Jewish Christians to: “look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” I thought to myself that is something good to pray for my grandchildren and of course, myself.

 James is telling the believers to be generous and help the needy. We can become so busy and self-absorbed that we don’t even notice the needy. When we reach out and help the needy, it is an act of love because the needy cannot repay us. Let’s pray our grandchildren and we will recognize the needy and help them in their distress.

 However, he also tells them to keep themselves from being polluted by the world. In this media-driven culture with the television, Internet, video games, Face book, Twitter, Blogs, etc it is hard not to be polluted by the ungodly worldly influence. Our media-driven culture is desensitizing our grandchildren, trying to distract and steal them from living for our Lord Jesus Christ.

 Pray for your grandchildren to:

  • Recognize the deception and pollution of the godless world.
  • Guard them from the corruption of our godless world.
  • Keep themselves unspotted and uncontained from the world.
  • Refuse to let the world corrupt them and keep them unstained by the world.
