Weekly Prayer for Grandchildren #24

A Prayer for the Parents of your Grandchildren

Dear Lord, first, I want to thank you for the parents of my grandchildren.

Help my children to value their children in the same way You value them.

I pray they will commit to the responsibility You have given them to teach the children to love You and train them according to your parenting manual, God’s Word.

Give our children wisdom to manage their time so they will be able to take the time to teach our grandchildren the ways of the Lord.

Give them wisdom how to nurture and care for the children. I pray they will be loving and caring parents.

May the children see their home and family as a “safe place.”

Help them to rule their home well, not provoking the children to anger.

Help them to be fair and understand the children as You understand us.

Pour your Spirit upon my children, as they parent my dear grandchildren.

Bless their homes. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

I want to introduce you to the Grandparents@Prayer groups. Have you heard about them? Christian Grandparents Network saw the need and has encouraged Grandparents @ Prayer (G@P) groups to provide a safe environment for two or more grandparents to gather and pray for their grandchildren. Most groups schedule their meetings weekly, bi-monthly, or monthly. Meetings last approximately one hour.  G@P groups consist of small or large groups of people meeting once or twice a month at a designated location for 1 to 1 ½ hours of prayer and fellowship.

For locations, step-by-step guidelines and promotional materials, visit the Christian Grandparenting Network website. https://christiangrandparenting.net/grandparents-at-pray

“The prayer of a righteous grandparent (man) is powerful and effective.” James 5:16b
