All wise, all powerful, gracious, and merciful Heavenly Father, I bring these children, grandchildren and great grandchildren (say their names here) to Your throne of grace. First of all, and most critically, if any of them are not born-again believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, encourage them to search their hearts and convict them to take care of this most important relationship with You. 2 Corinthians 13:5 “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves.  Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? – unless indeed you are disqualified.” 

Forgive us as a nation for using our education programs, technology, and media systems to bombard our children (especially the very young) with the evils of the world and asking them to make decisions about things that they are not able to understand. I ask that You be near and direct parents to be very serious in teaching their children how to discern, biblically, right from wrong and know what is evil. James 1:5 “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.” 

Encourage those of us that are older – parents, grandparents, and great grandparents – to take very seriously the role of being an intercessory prayer warrior for our loved ones with this example prayer from Ephesians 1:17-18a. “That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling.”

I ask that You raise up a revival in our Christian young people and an awakening in those who do not have a relationship with You. Give them a desire in their hearts to want to live with and for You to change the culture and resist the schemes of the evil one. Thank you that I can call on You who is all-wise, everywhere present, and powerful.   

In Jesus’ Name, Amen

P.S. These prayers will only work if you have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. If you need help understanding God’s plan of salvation for you (the way to Heaven), go to this page on our site: https://timewithourcreator.com/2016/06/02/salvation/

Galatians 5:16 “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.”

Heavenly Father, thank you for the joy and blessing of children and grandchildren; that through intercessory prayer I can be involved in their spiritual growth and development regardless of their age or location.

I ask that every day You will help my loved ones to walk under the control of the Holy Spirit and not to fulfill the lust of the flesh. Open their eyes to see the truth in Your Word and encourage them to be willing to listen to the direction You have for them in every situation. May their life be lived for You.

If there is any sin or rebellion in their life, I pray that You would create in them a heart of repentance: the kind of heart that is humble and turned towards You.

Since not one of us can know God’s ways without reading His Word, I pray that You will give my children and grandchildren a desire and love for it (Psalm 19:7-14).

Thank you for reminding me that You want to do, and can do, far more for my family than I ever could. Therefore, I ask You to speak to them by the power of Your Holy Spirit.

I bring these requests to You in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
