Prayer is communion with God where we speak to Him and He speaks to us. 

· Prayer is COMMUNION with God where we speak to Him and He speaks to us.

I. I want my children and grandchildren to… KNOW GOD.
I have never stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you wisdom to see clearly and really understand who Christ is and all that he has done for you. Eph. 1:16-18 TLB

You have 2 sets of eyes. One your head and another set on your heart. The eyes of your heart are how you look at the world around you. You are looking through the things that have happened to you. You are looking through the filter of your heart. You are looking through your pain, your past, and your problems. You are looking through your fears, disappointments, and betrayals. Paul is saying, “Once you have this relationship with Christ, dynamic relationship with Christ… go on this journey of getting your heart clear. (The eyes of your heart clear)

(1). Pray for the protection of your children and grandchildren. – 2 Thess. 3:3

III. I want my children and grandchildren to discover their PURPOSE.
I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can see something of the future he has called you… Ephesians 1:18

(2). Pray that God would guide and direct your child toward their purpose. – James 1:5

(3). Pray that God’s will and purpose for your child would be done. – Matthew 6:10 

IV. I want my children and grandchildren to make a DIFFERENCE in their world.
I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can see something of the future he has called you… to share. - Ephesians 1:18
