Pray Your Grandchildren Will Be Strong and Courageous

By Lillian Penner

The school bells are starting to ring, in fact, many of our grandchildren have already started back to school. The beginning of school can be very stressful with new teachers, new classmates, and for many a new school. They may have to adjust to new coaches, bus drivers, carpools and various pressures and temptations.

Pray they will recognize the ungodly pressures they face and be strong and courageous, knowing God is with them.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be terrified nor dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

Pray your grandchildren will be strong and courageous, knowing God will be with them
