A Grandmother’s Prayer for her Grandchildren

A Grandmother’s Prayer for her Grandchildren

Dear God, I am grateful for the grandchildren you have given me.

I pray you will give me the grace to be a “Grammy” who loves, accepts, leads, and guides them with your love.

I want to model my faith in Jesus, so they will be encouraged to put their confidence in you early in their lives.

I pray they will develop a compassionate heart with a desire to serve others.

When discouraged, may they trust you for their future and develop perseverance during hard times.

May they enjoy hard work and find joy and contentment in each day, despite difficult circumstances.

Help them to enjoy the small things in their lives, taking the time to smell the roses and notice the beautiful clouds in the sky.

I trust they will seek new experiences in your creation around them in place of material possessions.

I pray they will hold their possessions loosely and give cheerfully to your work.

My desire is for them to develop a strong prayer life as they grow in their faith.

Above all, may they seek your guidance in everything they do and may Jesus’ love shine through them to everyone. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
