Recently, our middle daughter, Haley, was scrapbooking with friends. The conversation between these young moms turned to praying for your children. One wise young woman, Erika, shared a prayer model that I thought you would enjoy putting into practice. Erika prays "5 P's" for her children:
Purpose - Romans 8:28-29, that God will conform him to the image of Christ through every situation.
Passion - Psalm 37:5-6; 42:1, that she will follow hard after Christ, in every area of life.
Protection - Psalm 27:1; 43:3, that God will protect him in His light and truth.
Purity - Psalm 24:3-6, that she will maintain clean hands and pure heart toward God.
Pals - Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, that he will choose wisely for the company he keeps, always including Christ in every friendship.
You probably will think of other passages appropriate to these 5 P's; ask the Lord to lead you to specifics for your own grandchildren. Use them...repeat God's Word back to Him on behalf of the ones you love -- it's
a sure-fire way of knowing that we're praying God's Will, when we pray back His Word.
