A Prayer For a Grandchild

Dear Lord Here is my grandson He has come a long way Please improve his sensitivity Everyone talks about everyone At least most of us Lord I worry about his disability Send someone to look after him Because I don't how long You are having me here with him We already planned this year But You are the Almighty seer Please guide and protect him from harm I wanted him to walk Yet he is so stubborn I worry about his disability I worry about him When I'm gone too long Please send someone For this dear one I am an old lady Please Lord I implore You Take care of him Amen

How beautiful this is. A grandma’s heart is a deep well. May God hear her strong heart!

"Please guide and protect him from harm" - this is the prayer every grandmother and many grandfathers pray every day for their grandchildren.

You have put into words what so many parents and grandparents feel and agonise over. Poetry and prayer does help and we need more of both particularly of this high standard. Best regards David in NZ

I was inspired when I caught my grandmother in prayer one morning as I awoke she was whispering it in a native tongue of which I was never taught in the end I saw she made the holy Trinity sign so I assumed she was catholic. I never confronted her about it was never my way entertaining my curiosity. Thanks ~phatt
