With the New Year upon us, this is an excellent time to make or renew our commitment to be intentional and specific about praying for our grandchildren.
While praying for our grandchildren absolutely benefits the child, it also provides benefits to our relationship with our grandchild, and to us (the pray-er) personally. Consider the following:
Praying for my grandchild(ren):
is my call and my responsibility
is a long-term commitment
helps me to be involved in the lives of my grandchildren
allows God to accomplish His purpose in and through them
has an eternal impact on my grandchildren’s lives
is one of the greatest investments I will ever make into their lives
can stop Satan’s schemes and powers toward my grandchildren
invites me to bring all my concerns about my grandchildren to Him
permits me to release to God what I cannot control myself
closes the distance gap
is an honor and a privilege
draws me closer to God and nourishes my spirit
strengthens my relationship with my grandchildren
displays the faithfulness, sovereignty, and goodness of God
helps me play a major part in stabilizing and influencing the lives of my grandchildren
is the single, greatest thing I can do to express my love for my grandchildren
helps equip my grandchildren to stand fast in the faith
WOW! What a role for us to play. I pray that you will embrace this God designed role for your life today and make this the year you become more intentional about and specific in your prayers for your grandchild(ren).
