Weekly Prayer for Grandchildren #32

We read in Luke 2:51, 52 “Then Jesus went down to Nazareth with his parents and was obedient to them. His mother treasured all these things in her heart. Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and favor with God and men.”

Here’s an excellent prayer for our younger grandchildren.

Let’s pray our grandchildren will grow taller just like Jesus and continue to grow in wisdom. Then God will be pleased with them and the people who know them.

 Some additional prayer Suggestions for Infants and Toddlers
