12 Suggestions to Pray for Married Grandchildren

Do you have married grandchildren? It’s incredible how those cute little ones grow up and become brides and grooms. I have four grandchildren who have married. Here are twelve suggestions to pray for your married grandchildren and their spouses.

For your Married, grandchildren pray they will:

1.    Understand how incredibly great God’s power is to help if they ask Him.

2.    Establish spiritual disciplines as part of their lives.

3.    Read God’s Word and pray together regularly as a couple.

4.    Seek God’s guidance in the management of their time, money, and careers.

5.    Develop open and honest communication with their spouse.

6.    Grasp the importance of saying, “I’m sorry,” and “I forgive you.”

7.    Understand there is no such thing as too many hugs.

8.    Honor their parents.

9.    Be united in spirit and intent on one purpose.

10.    Be able to firmly stand against anything that might threaten their marriage.

11.    Be prepared to establish a stable, loving Christian home for their family.

12.    Recognize the deception and peer pressure of the world.
