So, what do I pray about? Certainly the list has a number of things on it and changes depending on the situations they are facing, but I have five main prayer requests, which over the following days I'll share with you you, beginning with my #5 prayer request . . .
#5 - For God to guard their hearts. (1 John 2:15 - Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.)We - particularly here in the USA - live in a world where having the newest, brightest, fanciest, most, etc. is valued. Advertising bombards us - on our televisions, in our emails and on-line. What we have seems to never be enough. It is all too easy to fall into the trap of wanting more things. I want my grandsons to have hearts which love God the most, not things. I pray for God to guard their hearts, so they value what is truly most valuable . . . loving God the most.
There are certainly other things I pray about for my grandsons, but asking God to guard their hearts is absolutely among my "Top Five" prayer requests. What do you pray about for your grandchildren?
