Do you pray regularly for children and grandchildren? How important that we as parents pray daily for them! My prayer is that you, first of all have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and that you in turn are sharing the hope of the gospel with your children and praying daily for them.

Go Here and you can find six ways to pray for them according to Philippians 6:9-11.
Here is a free printable bookmark that you can keep in your Bible as a reminder to pray for them every day. The bookmark has a list of daily things that you can pray over your children and grandchildren every day.
As I was studying 2 Timothy 2, I discovered some other things to add to the list when praying for my children and grandchildren.
There is a book entitled “Prayers for Your Children” by James Banks. It is a book of 90 days of heartfelt prayers for children of any age.
As I began reading it I was first of all convicted that I had certainly lagged behind in praying as I ought for my children. But secondly, I was very excited as I began reading and saw that the author prayed Scriptures over his children. This is what I already like to do – I just don’t do it as often as I should. The book inspired me to pay better attention as I read and study the Scriptures to how and what I can pray for my children. If you need a good start on doing this, then this book will help you to get started. You could actually read a chapter each day and pray what the author prays for your own children.
We as parents and grand parents have been given the responsibility to nurture our children!
What greater way to do it than through praying the Scriptures, God’s promises over them!
You can pick up your own copy of this book Here.

I do pray regularly throughout the day for these folks but I am working with God on praying more intentionally. I love the idea of praying particular Scripture passages. And sitting down to focus on praying through particular circumstances. This book sounds excellent.
Yes, I too have to focus on praying more intentionally. I ask the Lord to open my eyes while reading His Word as to what I should pray. Yes, it is a good idea to pray through particular circumstances too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
What a wonderful list. I love praying for my children, especially since I feel the power of my own mother’s prayers has had for me.
Mothers’ and Grandmothers’ prayers are wonderful! I too, know that the prayers of parents were a great source in keeping me walking with the Lord. How important that we too keep praying for our children. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
So glad you are enjoying the book too! I keep it close at hand for a source of encouragement and a reminder to keep praying for all my children and grandchildren. Thanks for coming by.
This post is an all-out resource. Great job! I need to do a better job at consistently praying for my child. These pieces will help. Thank you.
I too need to do a better job at praying consistently. I’m thankful that the Lord reminds us to not be anxious about anything, but to bring our requests to Him with Thanksgiving. I always need to improve upon this. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
