Start the Year with a Grandparents Prayer Group

Years ago, Esther stood in the gap for her people, the Jews, when their lives were physically threatened. Today grandparents can stand in the gap with prayer for their grandchildren in the same way as their spiritual lives are threatened.   

I want to invite you to become a part of a prayer group for grandparents to pray together for each other’s grandchildren and families. Currently, many groups are meeting in the U.S and worldwide.

There is an urgency for the power of prayer to keep the hearts and minds of our grandchildren from falling captive to the enemy’s deception and lies. We are engaged in a spiritual battle that requires the spiritual weapon of prayer.

As grandparents, we can make a significant difference in the world by praying regularly and deliberately for our grandchildren and their parents. We have an opportunity to join to impact the lives of another generation powerfully.

Grandparent @ Prayer (G@P) intercessory prayer groups consist of small or large people meeting once or twice a month for approximately one hour at a designated location for prayer and fellowship. Groups meet in retirement centers, schools, churches, and homes weekly.

January would be a great time to get started. Just ask a few grandparents to join you, try it for a few months, and see what you think. Many grandparents have told me that they appreciate a safe place to share their concerns for their grandchildren. You are not alone if you have a heavy heart about the culture your grandchildren are facing.

If you are interested in beginning a group, please go to www.christiangrandparenting.net, go to the prayer link for guidelines, testimonials and complete the form to receive information to get started.

May God bless you richly in 2022 as you pray for your grandchildren and their parents,

Lillian Penner, Prayer Director for Christian Grandparenting Network
