The Word of God for wisdom:
Proverbs 13:24 (HCSB)
24 The one who will not use the rod hates his son, but the one who loves him disciplines him diligently.
Proverbs 29:15 (HCSB)
15 A rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a youth left to himself is a disgrace to his mother.
Proverbs 29:17 (HCSB)
17 Discipline your son, and it will bring you peace of mind and give you delight.
The Word of God for inspiration:
Psalm 90:1 (HCSB)
1 Lord, You have been our refuge in every generation.
The Word of God for encouragement:
Luke 21:34-36 (HCSB)
34 "Be on your guard, so that your minds are not dulled from carousing, drunkenness, and worries of life, or that day will come on you unexpectedly
35 like a trap. For it will come on all who live on the face of the whole earth.
36 But be alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place and to stand before the Son of Man."
My observation:
Now is the time for Godly parents and grandparents to cry out to God for our children. For those who are single, cry out for the children who don't have anyone praying for them. Let's send up unceasing prayer for our children until they come to know God for themselves.
My prayer:
Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, I am so thankful that as I look back over my life I can see that you have been our God in every generation.
Father God, I pray that this pattern will continue. Father, I realize that you don't have any grandchildren so I pray that every generation will be first generation children of God.
Father God, I pray that my children and my grandchildren will know you for themselves. Father, I pray that you will make this generation holy, and that you will make them wholly your sons and daughters. Amen.

1 Timothy 4:4-5 (HCSB)
4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing should be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,
5 since it is sanctified by the word of God and by prayer.
