Prayer is our best weapon in the spiritual battle

In response to this unprecedented time, we would like to invite all praying grandparents to join other grandparents around the world to pray for their grandchildren, specifically on September 13, 2020. 

“Do not be afraid or discouraged . . . .For the battle is not yours but Gods.” II Chronicles 20:15

Grandparents are in a spiritual battle for the next generation; however, the battle isn’t ours; it is the Lords. The way to walk through this struggle is to tightly grip the hand of Jesus and stay in close communication with him. Only as we release our grandchildren’s concerns to Him, are we free to cling to His hand? We cannot grab his hand when our hands are full of our worries and fears, only when our hands are empty can we tightly hold His hand. 

The enemy wants to disintegrate and divide our families, rendering them chaotic, restless, unfruitful, unnecessary, and out of date. Grandparents let’s not let the enemy distract us or dull our desires to pray intentionally for our precious grandchildren and their parents. It’s time we utilize the greatest weapon in our toolbox; it’s time we exercise the Power of Prayer!

I believe it’s our place as grandparents to get on our knees, humble ourselves, seek God’s face, repent of our sin, and intercede for our grandchildren, their parents, and our nations. Then having done all, we stand firm in our faith that God has heard and will answer our prayers according to His will.  

My granddaughters, as well as many of our grandchildren, are anxious and disappointed since they won’t be going to in-person classes starting this fall. They were looking forward to being with their friends again so let’s pray for their adjustment to the changes they are facing at this time. 

This struggle with the enemy is why Christian Grandparenting Network (CGN) is proclaiming the National Grandparents’ Day on September 13 as a Grandparents’ Day of Prayer. We believe the battle for our precious grandchildren’s hearts and minds and their parents will be victorious with praying grandparents who sense the urgency and the need to unite in prayer.

Will you help us call grandparents to join in prayer on September 13? CGN will provide step-by-step guidelines, resources, and online tools to help you successfully engage grandparents in prayer for your event.
