Grandparenting with a Purpose: Effective Ways to Pray for your Grandchildren
For Teenagers, pray they will:
- Be motivated, disciplined and challenged to apply themselves and excel in their academic studies.
- Experience the reality of Jesus Christ in their lives, as they grow strong in their faith.
- Recognize the deception of the world.
- Be covered with God’s safekeeping physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
- Date wisely (which leads to a spouse for a lifetime).
- Be sexually pure.
- Have open communication and a good relationship with parents.
- Choose friends who will have a positive influence.
- Grow spiritually with a hunger for God’s Word.
- Have a balanced view of their beauty, charm, and strength.
- Ask your teenager how you can pray for them.

Thank you for structuring my prayers for my grandchildren – and children. Sometimes it feels you are whaling and crying before the Lord instead of constructive prayers. Like Stormie Omartian’s book – “ Praying for your adult children” ur organisation helps with prayers for the grandchildren. Thank you. It is wonderful.
Karin,
Thank you for your encouraging comment. May God bless you as you pray for your grandchildren.
Blessings,
