Weekly Prayer for your Grandchildren # 19

Suggestions to Pray for Grandchildren to be Known for their Actions in School

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

1. Pray your grandchildren will learn to follow instructions and conduct themselves with right behavior.
2. Encourage your grandchildren to be obedient to their parents and teachers.
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, they will 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 also they will learn to think before they speak and choose their words wisely.

Pray for Your Grandchildren to Have Success

“People who despise advice are asking for trouble; those who respect a command will succeed. If you ignore criticism, you will end in poverty and disgrace; if you accept criticism, you will be honored.”  Proverbs 13:13, 18 NLT

“If you listen to constructive criticism, you will be at home among the wise. If you reject discipline, you only harm yourself; but if you listen to correction, you grow in understanding.” Proverbs 15:31, 32 NLT

Grandchildren need to learn to accept advice and constructive criticism. Those who take guidance and correction will be successful in life. They only hurt themselves when they do not allow correction.

• Pray your grandchildren will accept and respect advice from their parents, teachers, and those in authority over them, so they will be prepared for life’s experiences.
