Grandparenting with a Purpose: Effective Ways to Pray for your Grandchildren
Recently, I was encouraged when a friend shared with me how God was answering the prayers she was praying for her grandchild. I am always encouraged to hear how God is answering a grandparent’s prayer for their grandchildren. Many of us have long distance grandchildren and miss involvement in their lives. However, God has given us the gift of prayer so we have opportunity to always pray for them.
The greatest gift we can give our grandchildren is the gift
of a praying grandparent.
I am going to suggest a prayer you can use to pray for them, you may also include it in a Christmas greeting, using the word CHRISTMAS
Give your grandchildren the gift of a Prayer. Pray this prayer and send it to your grandchildren.
If you join the mailing list for this blog I will send you 31 Scriptures to Pray for your Grandchildren. The form is on the right side of the website.
I hope and pray you will have a blessed Christmas as you share the true meaning of Christmas with your families,

I am a long distance Grandmother. I have a praise report–my sister who just came on a visitor’s visa and I were able to visit my grandchildren spread out in six different states. within the last five and a half months.
What a blessing to let them know first hand that I love them and I am praying for them.
I will follow this with your Christmas Prayer. Thank you Lillian for sharing this prayer.
Have a wonderful,blessed Christmas with your family too.

Lourdes,
Thank you for your encouraging comment. I am so happy that you have been able to visit all your grandchildren in 6 different states.
The CHRISTMAS prayer above to pray for grandchildren has an extra “e” in the word “name”.
Beautiful prayer…I went to print it would to put in my Bible to pray and saw typo.

Don’t you have a branch or representative in South Africa?
The Holy Spirit always reminds me on the impact Timothy’s grandmother had on his spiritual development.
Valerie from Welkom in the Free State in South Africa
Dear Valerie,
At this time we do not have a representative in South Africa but we are working on that issue right now. You are so right we can have the same impact on our grandchildren as
Timothy’s grandmother did. Stay in touch with this website to see if it will develop. We do have many interested in the grandparenting ministry from South Africa.
Blessings,
Lillian Penner
