A Grandparent’s Prayer for oneselves

Dear Lord, I pray that I will let the Holy Spirit fill me with hope and joy to the point of overflowing to my family.

• Help me to make the most of the opportunities I have and not waste them foolishly to show my grandchildren what a godly like looks like in a secular world. Our world is so complex and over stimulating we along with our grandchldren can easily lose our sense of focus. 
• Help me develop a Biblical worldview by hoping in Jesus Christ during our time of uncertainly and ungodliness
• Help me to spend time with you in your Word so my sense of direction can be restored when I lose my focus on you.
• Help me direct my prayers by giving me discernment about the vulnerable spots and unguarded doors of my grandchildren’s hearts.
• Provide opportunities for me to teach them they are your workmanship and you have a plan for their lives.
• Help me stand firm and resist the schemes of the devil by putting on the armor of God.

Lord, give me a spirit of wisdom and insight to know you better so I will fulfill my Biblical role as a grandparent.    In Jesus’ name.

Moses told the Israelites, “Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.” Deuteronomy 4:9 NIV
