Lord, Protect My Grandchildren from Any Danger or Threat

Posted on Aug 29, 2016   Topic : Weekly Devotionals


We are all well aware of the many dangers in the world today. They are worse than we ever imagined they could be and found in places we never thought to be unsafe before—such as schools, movie theaters, restaurants, and malls. They are sometimes perpetrated by people we might never have thought to be so dangerously abnormal.

How do we begin to protect our children and grandchildren wherever they are? We can homeschool them and keep them out of theaters and malls, but even then there are still no guarantees. One day they have to go out in the world, and, as we have seen, disaster can happen anywhere.

Neither we nor their parents can protect our grandchildren from everything. Only God can do that.

We must pray daily for God’s hand of protection to cover our grandchildren. Even when I take care of my grandchildren in my own home, I pray constantly that God will protect them and help me to recognize all possible dangers. I have two little ones under the age of two right now, and I can’t take my eyes off them for even a second. The thought of something happening to one of them at any time is horrifying, but it would be unthinkable if it occurred on my watch. I’m always praying fervently about this. As we well know, accidents happen quickly and suddenly. So we must be praying ongoingly for God’s protection on our grandchildren, as well as their parents, caretakers, other grandparents, or family members who help care for them.

Pray that your grandchildren will be safe in their own home. Freak accidents happen at home when least expected. That’s because home is where we let down our guard and don’t always see possible dangers ahead.

Pray that your grandchildren will be safe wherever they travel. Pray they will be safe in every car, plane, bus, or train they are traveling in. Pray for their safety wherever they ride a bicycle or walk—on every street and in every building they enter.

Pray for good and safe neighborhoods for your grandchildren to live in. Pray for godly neighbors. The Bible says, “Do not devise evil against your neighbor, for he dwells by you for safety’s sake” (Proverbs 3:29). Good neighbors are a big part of your grandchildren’s safety. If they are not in a safe neighborhood now, pray that they and their family will be able to move to one that is. Pray that any unseen dangers, wherever they are, will be exposed and not able to threaten your grandchildren at any time.

Pray there will be no sudden accidents. Each of my children had to be rushed to the emergency room for stitches in their forehead when they were about two years old, and each accident occurred right in front of me. I was no more than two feet away from them, and the situation happened so fast I could do nothing to stop it. Both of them made a sudden move I wasn’t expecting. My son suddenly leaped on my bed and hit the headboard. My daughter started to run in a hotel room, and before I could even get the words “Don’t run!” out of my mouth, she tripped and fell into the corner of a wall. I learned to always pray about sudden accidents after that.

Pray for your grandchildren to grow up with a great ability to sense danger. Ask God to enable them to know when something they are doing could be a danger to themselves or others. Having a sense of danger has spared my life countless times and the lives of my children as well. God gives us wisdom, insight, revelation, understanding, and common sense when we ask for that. And His Spirit speaks to us about what to do or not do.

God says when you turn to Him, “Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,’ whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left” (Isaiah 30:21). Pray that your grandchildren are able to hear these words from God to their heart at an early age.

Still, as much as we pray and as hard as we try, accidents can happen. When they do, pray there will be no permanent damage and everyone will learn to be more cautious because of it. The truth is, only God can keep us and our children and grandchildren in the safety for which we long every day. Only God can protect us, and those for whom we pray, from unseen dangers lurking about. We must never stop praying about that.

All that being said, children can still become ill or injured, and some may die. It’s one of life’s heartbreaking and unthinkable realities. And there are many reasons that can happen, which are too extensive to go into now. But if it does happen, may we have the comfort of knowing that it was not because we didn’t pray. And though our hearts are broken and the loss will be felt for a lifetime, we have the assurance that this precious child is with Jesus and we will see him or her again.


My Prayer to God

Lord, I pray for my grandchildren. (Name each grandchild before God.) I ask that You would put Your hand of protection upon them. Keep them safe from accidents or dangers of any kind. Surround them with Your angels. I know that “You alone” can make them to “dwell in safety” (Psalm 4:8). Help them to understand that You are their protector, and You can keep them safe when they live Your way and seek Your hand of protection. Enable them to see that when they go their own way, without regard for Your way, they walk out from under Your umbrella of protection.

Give my grandchildren the ability to sense danger—either to themselves or to others. Help them to hear Your voice speaking to their heart saying, “Walk this way, not that way.” (See Isaiah 30:21.) Give them no peace about going anyplace, or doing anything, that will expose them or others to danger.

I pray that my grandchildren will always live in safe neighborhoods with godly neighbors. Teach them to be a blessing to their neighbors and to people in their school, workplace, and wherever they go. Where there are dangerous people around, I pray that none will come near to threaten them in any way. Expose the threats that bullies and bad people can impose on them, and remove these people from their surroundings. If necessary, I pray that my grandchildren and their family will be able to move to a safer neighborhood.

Keep all my grandchildren’s parents, stepparents, caretakers, and everyone around them alert to possible dangers at all times. Give all who care for them the ability to see ahead what the dangers are. Whenever I’m around them, make me aware of all possible dangers as well. Show me anything I need to see. Keep my grandchildren safe in cars, planes, trains, buses, on bicycles, and in any other form of transportation. Keep them safe wherever they walk and in whatever activity they are involved in. Thank You, Lord, that I can have peace because I know that You protect us and help us to live safely when we pray and live Your way.

In Jesus’ name I pray.

Continuous prayers for my daughter and her wonderful son. I am asking for God’s angels to protect my nine-year-old grandson in all that he thinks, in all that he does, and in all the interactions with those he is in contact with daily. Most important, I’m asking for my daughter’s mental health to improve and that she will embrace God through Jesus Christ.
Thank you and Amen.

Keep her surrounded by your angels that they will make hedge of protection around her.


Lord, you know what is being put before her and I pray you keep her from going down a wrong path. I plead the Blood of The Lamb, your son Jesus Christ, over her. In Jesus name, I come before you and plead with my whole heart. Amen.

Please, God, keep her in a safe place around people who love, protect, care, and nurture her with love.

Thank you for protecting her and preventing any type of harm to her….Amen

Thank you for this prayer of protection for my granddaughter. It has really blessed me, and given me comfort that you Lord are there; where she is and around. I pray this prayer in Jesus Christ Most Holy Name, believing I receive NOW & Forever More. Amen

Deborah on 03/29/19

Thank you for this prayer for my grandkids. Four years ago one of my grandkids, at the age of 3, was killed by a babysitter and her friend while drunk driving. They were in a wreck and did not have him in a carseat. The impact was on the door where he was sitting. His skull was cracked from ear to ear and they did not seek medical attention for him. They brought him back to the house and he went without oxygen to his brain for 4 hours until my daughter came home and found him laying on the sofa having a seizure. Those girls have yet to be charged for this crime and I do believe that justice will be served in God timing if it is his will. I could not help my grandson then, but I know that God is still in control. I have nine other grandkids and I will pray for their protection via His guidance. Thank you again.

Catherine E. on 03/29/19

Thank you. Amen… I love them.
