The Grandparents They Need

Abba, Father, by your great mercy, grace, and power, make us exactly and always the kind of grandparents our grandchildren need.

Whether they are near or far, make us worthy of their love and trust. Let them always feel safe with us. Make us wise in word and deed toward them. Help us to be firm when they need it, playful when they need that, and understanding at all times.

Help us to teach them your ways. Help us to prioritize time with them. Help us to make the most of every moment we have with them.

May we always be a refuge for them. An encouragement to them. A blessing. A resource. An example. A help. And a channel of your will and work in them, in Jesus' name, amen.
