TIGARD, Ore., March 11, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ -- The following is submitted by Lillian Penner:

As the National Prayer Director for Christian Grandparenting Network I have a dream to form a movement of a Million Praying Grandparents committing to pray intentionally and regularly for their grandchildren and their parents. I know you share my concern for our grandchildren growing up in our troubled world we live in today. That's why I am asking you to join me in this endeavor.

You may ask What's the Million-Praying Grandparents Movement?

The Million Praying Grandparents is a community of grandparents committed to intentionally pray for their grandchildren and their parents.

The Mission of Christian Grandparenting Network is to mobilize grandparents worldwide to intentionally and regularly pray for their grandchildren, their families, and all influences in their grandchildren's lives.

In today's broken world, Satan's purpose is to distract and destroy the family from the truth and faith in Jesus Christ. It is critical that we implore God to give the parents of our grandchildren wisdom and perseverance in their monumental task of guiding our grandchildren in the ways of the Lord.

While we live in a culture of spiritual, social and moral decline we are not without hope, nor are we at the mercy of the merciless and evil in this world. We read in Psalms 46:1, "We have a God who is our refuge and strength, our stronghold in times of trouble."

Perhaps at no time in history is a call for intentional prayer more urgently needed than today. If you grasp the urgency of our time, then I urge you to join the Million Praying Grandparents movement linking arms in prayer for the next generation. When you join the Million Praying Grandparents Movement you are declaring your commitment to pray regularly for your grandchildren.

As a way of saying thanks for that commitment, you may download your printable free, Million Praying Grandparents Scriptures to Pray, a tool to help you pray effectively for your grandchildren using God's Word.
