Grandparenting with a Purpose: Effective Ways to Pray for your Grandchildren
Culture tends to shape our grandchildren by what it presents as normal, which is very different from the normal in which we grew up. Grandparents who love the Lord can help their grandchildren and their parents to navigate their worldly culture with prayer and godly counsel. This book will give you a view of some of the cultural issues our grandchildren and their parents are facing today.
Is being a grandparenting a blessing, or is it painful for you? Grandchildren are so sweet; we love the hugs and pictures. However, many grandparents have to take the responsibility of raising their grandchildren or restrained from seeing their grandchildren. This book will share some insight into these difficult issues.
God gives grandparents a sacred trust—an opportunity to imprint another generation with the message of his faithfulness. You can stand in the gap by being a godly example for your grandchildren and by praying for them.
Author Lillian Penner provides specific examples of prayers, such as alphabet prayers, prayers based on Scriptures, and suggestions to pray for all ages. You may even widen the circle, praying for other children in your life, for children who have parents in the military, and for the adults who influence your grandchildren. From cell phones to photo prayer journals, you’ll find tools and Scriptures to pray intentionally for your grandchildren and their parents. Regardless of how far they live from you, your prayers for them can bridge the distance between you and leave them with an inheritance more precious than gold.
