A Grandparent's Devotional- Close to My Heart

Your grandchild has a very special piece of your heart, and as a grandparent, your influence in their life is remarkably special. When you give the precious gift of time and love to your grandchild and prioritize them as an important part of your life, the impact can last for generations. There is no better way to show Christ's love than to actively pray for your grandchild. Whether they are a very young infant or a grown adult, the impact of your prayers can alter and change the direction of their life. God can use you, his willing and faithful servant, to be a strong encourager and prayer warrior for your grandchild. Even if your grandchild is far from the Lord right now, prayer with faith is your best and greatest hope. Prayer also knows no distance. If you are far away from your grandchild, the fact that they know you are praying for and thinking about them is incredibly significant.
This book is a tangible way to let your grandchild know you are praying for them. The book contains 40 different prayer themes. Each day consists of a short verse and prayer that corresponds to the weekly theme. Throughout the book there are many opportunities for you to bless your grandchild by writing down personalized notes, thoughts and memories that they can read and reflect upon through their life. There are also places for you to include pictures of your choice that you would like your grandchild to keep. This book is a prayer legacy book. After you are through, give the book to your grandchild. By taking the time to pray daily for your grandchild you are leaving a strong Christian legacy and a godly inheritance. You are letting them know that you deeply love and care for them and that they are so very close to your heart. There is no greater gift.
Examples of personalized note prompts you can expand upon for your grandchild include:
"I remember when you were born..."
"One of my favorite memories I have with you so far was when..."
"God has given you some great talents and abilities..."
"My specific prayers of protection for you..."
"You bring joy to my life because..."
"God is faithful and trustworthy, I have seen this in many ways..."
"I am so thankful for you..."
"I always want you to remember that..."
and many more!
