I would like to send you a free downloadable copy of “31 Scriptures to Pray for your Grandchildren” which have helped me and many others to pray for our grandchildren.
I have found when I pray according to God’s Word, I am in line with His will. I not only find myself in intimate communication with God, but my mind is renewed to His perspective about the situation for which I am praying, instead of my own thoughts.
Nothing threatens the enemy (Satan) more than when we are intentionally praying God’s Word for our children, grandchildren, their parents and ourselves. We read in Hebrews 4:12
“For the word of God is living and active.
Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow;
it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12” (NLT)
I also like the Bible verse in Isaiah 55:11,
“So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
but it shall accomplish what I please, . . . (NKJV)
It tells me that God’s Word will not return void.
When I started claiming God’s promises and personalizing his Word I experienced more confidence, boldness and peace in my praying. I believe God’s Word puts power in our prayer life. The movie War Room focused predominantly on the importance of prayer and how speaking to God directly can help people change our lives. Claim God’s promises for your grandchildren and their parents. There are many scriptures in Psalms, Proverbs, the gospels, and Paul’s writings can be used in our prayer.
Here is an example: Accept Advice I pray that Susan will listen to constructive criticism and correction, and through it gain understanding. Proverbs 15:31,32

You are praying God's Logos word to the children. That is good.
We should also be praying God's Rhema word to the children. When I pray for a client, I first pray to God, "Please teach me to pray, that I might pray according to your will - and watch things happen." When I start praying, amazing things come out of my mouth. Often after the prayer time, I take notes what came out of my mouth. I have learned how God wants things healed this way.
