As grandmothers, we hold a very special place in our grandchildren’s lives. We may not always be with them in person, but one way to remind them that our love is steady and unshakable is through prayer. Sharing little daily prayers can help our grandchildren feel safe, cared for, and wrapped in love, not just ours, but God’s, too.
Here are 31 daily prayers, each one a little longer and more detailed, so you can say them together, send them in a text, or even tuck them into a card or note. These prayers aren’t long sermons; they’re simple, heartfelt words that speak straight to the hearts of our grandkids.
