Weekly Prayer for your Grandchildren #16

Pray for Grandchildren to be known by their Actions.

“Even a child is known by his actions, by whether his conduct is pure and right.” (Proverbs 20:11).

Pray your grandchildren will:

1. Learn to follow instructions and conduct themselves with right behavior.
2. Encourage your grandchildren to be obedient to their parents.
3. Help them to understand that being well behaved is pleasing to God, their parents, teachers, and others. Appropriate behavior will be beneficial to them.
4. Help them to understand that sometimes it is hard to be good, but God will help them to make right choices for appropriate behavior if they ask Him.
5. Pray they will have gentle, kind, and honest words.
6. Pray that your grandchildren will recognize when they are tempted to sin, think about it, and choose to resist the enemy.
7. Pray that if they do sin, they will admit it, confess the sin to God, and ask forgiveness, if they have hurt another person.
8. Pray they will learn to think before they speak and choose their words wisely.

I have developed “Thirty-one Scriptures to Pray for Grandchildren” that many grandparents have found helpful to pray Scripture for their grandchildren. Join the mailing list on the right side of this page, and you will receive the blogs about grandparenting and prayer suggestions. I will email you a free downloadable copy of “Thirty-one Scriptures to Pray for your Grandchildren” you can print.
