A Prayer I have been using for a Long Time.  Retyped From ibelieve.com

Dear God, (Rev E) 8-07-24

Another day is ahead, and once again, I want to release our grandchildren and children whom we love so incredibly much, straight into your tender care. Because we know that’s the best place they could ever be. Thank you in advance for all that you have in store, for this day, for this season, and for their entire lives.

We ask for your wisdom and direction over their days, that you would give them understanding beyond what their years say they should even know. We ask that you would remind them again of how very much you love them. We pray that they find security and confidence fully in you, knowing that you are trustworthy and true.

We ask for your peace to cover them. We pray for laughter and joy to fill their day. We ask that you would give them the boldness and courage to face the challenges set before them, with the confidence and calmness that can only come from your Holy Spirit.

Dear Lord, we pray that you would teach them your ways, help them to be respectful to others, obedient to your paths, and have a desire to learn your word. Give them a compassionate spirit, and a willingness to look beyond the outward appearance of another to the deeper heart.

On the days they are struggling, we pray that you would bring wrong to the light, offering your reassurance of grace, restoration, and forgiveness when they mess up and lose their way. We ask for you to protect them from feelings of shame or condemnation, instead, covering them with your tender love and hope. Surround them with friends and leaders who will constantly challenge them to press closer to you.

Please keep them safe today. We ask that you would protect them from any harm or evil intent that would lurk close by, or attack them while they’re unaware. Cover them in your care and hide them in the safety of your powerful presence. We pray for you to protect their coming and going, and to remind them that you’re always with them. Give them alertness, spiritual discernment, and wisdom to avoid temptation, and make the best choices. Give them a heart for your word and your ways.

We pray that you would direct their steps, that your plans for them would prosper, and that every place that you have determined for them to walk would be paved clear. we ask for you to open doors that need to be opened and close everyone that needs to be shut tight. Allow every gift and treasure you have placed inside their lives to grow, develop, and flourish, to bring you glory.

Lord, we trust you to raise up your greatness in our grandchildren. Build up greatness in this generation, in those who are willing to stand strong and true, passionate for you, believing that you have designed them for your purpose and good works, which you have carefully planned and prepared in advance for them to do.

Be a lamp for their feet. Be a light to their path. Shine over them. Fill them with your Spirit. Bless them with your favor and peace.

We thank you, God, that you would walk ahead of them, beside them, and behind them too. So we can trust you to always lead the way, be constantly at their side, and to have their back too, all at the same time.

Thank you so much for allowing us, as grandparents, the privilege of praying for and loving our children and grandchildren. We praise you for the work you are continuing to do in their lives. They are a gift to us and so many others.

We trust you today with these precious ones we love so dearly. We love you Lord and we rely on you fully, for your wisdom and grace.

Without TRUTH, THERE IS NO FUTURE for our children & grandchildren, only eternal PUNISHMENT! Genesis 1:27 says God Created A Man & A Woman! If we as Parents & Grandparents are unable to accept that 1 TRUTH THEN OUR Children & Grandchildren, along with those responsible for not training them in the way they should go, will Spend Eternity in a BAD, BAD PLACE! (Note this paragraph is NOT IN THE ORIGINAL PRAYER I copied from iBelieve.com

In Jesus’ Name,

WHY IS PRAYER SO POWERFUL?

Amen.

Prayer is powerful, and His words are true. I am aware more than ever, of just how much our adult Children and Grandchildren need our prayers. It’s one of the most important gifts we could ever give them in this life. God knows our hearts, He sees, He hears, and is always at work, even when we can’t fully see.

This prayer was discovered some time back on “iBelieve”.com by my wife. We have been reading it daily over our Children & Grandchildren ever since!
