Grandparenting with a Purpose: Effective Ways to Pray for your Grandchildren
Recently a Grandparent told me, “I am distraught because our grandchildren are growing up in a desperate moral and spiritual climate navigating a world hostile to truth.” I agree that the enemy has launched an aggressive attack on all fronts using media, technology, education, social influences, and political pressures. The boundaries of truth and righteousness that hold nations and families together are being desensitized and clouded.
One thing a grandparent can do is unite in fervent and intentional prayer to rescue our precious grandchildren from the aggressive attack of the enemy. Prayer is the most powerful weapon for praying grandparents to pull down strongholds. We read in James 5:16,” The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”
Following its mission, Christian Grandparenting Network asks grandparents worldwide to unite in prayer for their grandchildren on Sunday, September 11, 2022. This date coincides with the official United States National Grandparents Day, designated by a Senate proclamation signed by President Jimmy Carter in 1978.
This will be our ninth Grandparents’ Day of Prayer. Many grandparents will be joining in prayer with other grandparents in their homes, churches, and community worldwide for an intentional day of prayer on behalf of the next generation.
Imagine the difference grandparents can make in the world by praying daily, intentionally, and deliberately, for their grandchildren and parents to walk wholeheartedly with the Lord. Now is the time to unite in one voice calling God to rescue our grandchildren from the enemy.
If you would like to join us in praying fervently for our grandchildren and their parents on September 11 click on www.grandparentsdayofprayer.com.For additional information and order promotional resources, go to the above website. If you have further questions, email me at lpenner@christiangrandparenting.net. I would love to hear from you.
May God show favor to you as you pray for your dear grandchildren.
