Prayer Suggestions for Grandparents

The prayer of a righteous man (grandparent) is powerful and effective.  James 5:16b

Positive Influence

by Lillian Penner, CGN National Prayer Coordinator

Laughter, joy, happiness and peace--wonderful words that are vital if our grandchildren are to be healthy spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally. May God bless us as we seek to be a positive influence in the lives of our grandchildren.

This week PRAY that God will impress upon the hearts of your grandchildren the importance of using kind words that cheer others up and becoming a peacemaker in their relationships with their friends, classmates at school, and with their family.
