I hurt for my grandkids today

O, my Father, I know a thankful mind-set does not entail a denial of reality with its plethora of problems, but some of them seem so overwhelming. I pray today for my children and grandchildren. I pains me when I see them walking away from You. Help me…o Help me today just to rejoice in YOU, my Savior, in the midst of trials and tribulations.

Surround my grandchildren with Your love today and keep them thru their trials. Give them gracious and thankful hearts and gentle spirits, please, I pray in Jesus’ special name. Amen.

Verse for Today: “Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior.” (Habakkuk 3:17–18)
