If you have been looking for a resource to help you pray intentionally for your grandchildren, I have an answer for you. I would like to share “31 Scriptures to Pray for your Grandchildren” which have really helped me to pray for my grandchildren.
I have found when I pray according to God’s Word, I am in line with His will. I not only find myself in intimate communication with God, but my mind is renewed to His perspective about the situation for which I am praying, instead of my thoughts.
Nothing threatens the enemy (Satan) more than when we are intentionally praying God’s Word for our children, grandchildren, and ourselves. Ultimately, God shrinks the situation that I thought was overwhelming and impossible to a viable possibility. He gives me peace as I wait for His answer.
When I started claiming God’s promises and personalizing the scriptures I experienced more boldness and peace in my praying. Many scriptures in Psalms, Proverbs, the gospels, and Paul’s writings can be used in our prayers.
If you join the mailing list to receive the blogs with grandparenting suggestions for prayer on my website. I will send you a copy of the “31 Scriptures to Pray for your Grandchildren” which you can download FREE. We have distributed these Scriptures to thousands of grandparents and I hope you too, will find them helpful in praying for your grandchildren. The parents of your grandchildren can also use the Scriptures to Pray.
“31 Scriptures to Pray for your Grandchildren” is also available in Spanish. To receive the Spanish translations email me at [email protected]
“For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12” (NLT)

Father, I come before your holy throne, not because I am worthy but because I am forgiven by the ransoming blood of your only son. You know my heavy heart concerning my Hope and Brett. Lord, I am so clueless as to what to do or say, but I know without a shadow of doubt that You have the perfect plan and the perfect timing. Please let me allow You to work in their lives without interference from me. Show me God how You want to use me . I will continue to pray on their behalf and for all young adults who are struggling to find themselves in a world seemingly controlled by darkness. But we know Dear God that You and You only are the Light of the world and that “He who is in me is greater than he who is in the world”. So Father God, I ask you to conquer Satan’s hold on all four of my grands as well as the rest of our family. Create a miracle in our lives as only You can and help us to bind together in Your love to be a blessing and a help to others who are struggling. I trust You, God, I praise you, God. Please keep Your Hand of love on them until they realize the perfect peace in You.Please convict them according to your perfect will. In Your precious hands I place my trust. Amen

GRANDPARENTS ARE UNITING IN PRAYER ON GRANDPARENTS’ DAY
It is a global reality that truth is under attack like never before in our schools, our political arenas, the marketplace, and even in our churches. Christianity is under assault, and parents and grandparents find themselves involved in a tug of war for the hearts and minds of their children. It is not easy for our grandchildren to navigate in this post-Christian culture. Satan is relentless in his aggressive attack to desensitize our children to truth and righteousness.
This is a spiritual battle requiring spiritual weapons. Our grandchildren and their parents not only need our support, they need our earnest prayers. They need our united prayer, a genuine, unified prayer for our hope and dreams for the next generation to be realized. Jesus declared, “Again I say to you, that if two believers on earth agree about anything that they ask , it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in My name , I am there among them” (Matt. 18:19-20).
Christian Grandparenting Network (CGN) is claiming National Grandparents’ Day on September 9, 2018 as a Grandparents’ Day of Prayer. We believe the battle for the hearts and minds of our dear grandchildren and their parents can be won only by praying grandparents who sense the urgency and unite to do battle in prayer.
In the past, united prayer has always bridged the gap between a great need and a great awakening! Our grandchildren and their parents urgently need our unified prayers. Let’s be a community of grandparents uniting in prayer for our families.
CGN would like to invite all praying grandparents to join us to come before God’s throne of grace, to obtain mercy and find grace in our time of need for our grandchildren and their parents.
You can get involved in one of two ways. You can commit to 30 days of prayer on behalf of your grandchildren, or you can volunteer to organize and host a GDOP event. Scroll down the page for details.
