Please pray for my grandchild, he’s on a bad path. Cussing his great-grandmother and hitting her. He won’t come home, smokes pot, and she’s 72 and can’t handle him. She’s the one who’s raised him his whole life.

Our hearts are deeply grieved to hear about the struggles of your grandchild and the pain this is causing your family, especially his great-grandmother who has loved and raised him. This is not the path God desires for him, and we know the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy—but Christ came to give life abundantly (John 10:10). This behavior is not only rebellious but dishonoring to God and to the family He has placed in his life. The Bible is clear that children are to honor their parents and elders, for this is right in the Lord’s sight (Ephesians 6:1-3). Cursing, violence, and disobedience are fruits of a heart that is not surrendered to Christ, and we must pray fervently for his repentance and salvation if he does not know the Lord.
The smoking of marijuana is also a form of bondage, and the Bible tells us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Substance abuse clouds the mind and opens doors to further sin and destruction. We must pray that the Lord breaks these chains in his life and draws him to Himself. His great-grandmother’s age and inability to manage his behavior also highlight the urgency of this situation—she should not be subjected to such mistreatment, and we pray the Lord provides wisdom, protection, and supernatural intervention for her.
Most importantly, we must ask: *Does this young man know Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior?* If not, that is the root of the issue. Without Christ, there is no true transformation. The Bible says, *"There is no one righteous; no, not one"* (Romans 3:10) and *"All have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God"* (Romans 3:23). But the good news is that *"the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord"* (Romans 6:23). If he has never surrendered his life to Christ, that is where the change must begin. If he has strayed from the faith, we must pray for his return, like the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with broken hearts, lifting up this young man who is walking in rebellion and bondage. Lord, You see the pain he is causing, the dishonor he is bringing upon his family, and the destruction he is inviting into his own life. We ask for Your mercy and intervention, Lord. If he does not know You, we pray that You would open his eyes to his need for a Savior. Convict his heart by Your Holy Spirit, and draw him to repentance. Break the chains of addiction, anger, and disobedience in his life, and replace them with Your peace, Your love, and Your truth.
Father, we pray for his great-grandmother, who has loved him faithfully. Strengthen her, protect her, and give her wisdom in how to handle this situation. Surround her with Your comfort and provision, and let her not be overwhelmed by fear or despair. We ask that You would place godly influences in this young man’s life—people who will speak Your truth to him and lead him toward You. If he has walked away from You, Lord, bring him back like the prodigal son. Let him come to his senses and return to the arms of his loving family—and most importantly, to You.
We rebuke the enemy’s hold on his life in the mighty name of Jesus. No weapon formed against him shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we declare that the Lord will complete the good work He has begun in him (Philippians 1:6). Give his family the words to speak, the actions to take, and the patience to endure. May this situation bring glory to Your name as You redeem what the enemy meant for harm.
We ask all this in the powerful and saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
To the one who submitted this request: We encourage you to continue praying without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17) and to speak life and truth over your grandchild. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). If possible, seek wise counsel from your church or a biblical counselor on how to handle this situation practically. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18), and He hears your cries. Stand firm in faith, knowing that our God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).

Let's also pray for wisdom and strength for his great-grandmother. We ask the Lord to provide godly influences in his life, people who will speak truth and lead him back to the family - and most importantly, back to Jesus.

We want to thank you for allowing us the honor of lifting your grandchild and your family before the Lord in these past days. Our hearts have been heavy with you as we’ve prayed for this young man’s heart to soften, for his great-grandmother’s strength and protection, and for God’s redemptive power to break through the hardness and rebellion in his life. It is our privilege to stand with you in this spiritual battle, knowing that the Lord hears the cries of His people and is mighty to save.
If you’ve seen even the smallest glimmer of hope—perhaps a softened word, a moment of conviction, or a return home—we would love for you to share a praise report with us. Even the tiniest step in the right direction is evidence of God’s faithfulness, and we want to rejoice with you over every victory. The enemy may seek to steal, kill, and destroy, but our God is in the business of restoration, and we believe He is at work, even when we cannot yet see it.
If the situation remains unchanged or has grown more difficult, please don’t hesitate to post an update or a new request. We are here to continue interceding with you, to plead the blood of Jesus over this young man’s life, and to ask the Lord to surround your family with His peace that surpasses all understanding. Sometimes these battles are long, and the answers don’t come as quickly as we hope, but we serve a God who is patient, persistent, and full of mercy. He is not done writing this story.
We are also praying for *you*—for your strength, your faith, and your perseverance as you navigate this heartbreaking season. It’s easy to feel helpless when someone we love is walking away, but take heart in knowing that the Holy Spirit is the ultimate Convictor and Comforter. He can reach your grandchild in ways we never could. Keep trusting, keep praying, and keep believing that God’s love is pursuing him, even now.
May the Lord bless you with His supernatural peace as you continue to seek Him. May He remind you that He sees your tears, hears your prayers, and is working all things together for His glory. We are not giving up hope, and we ask you to hold fast to the promise that the One who began a good work in your grandchild will be faithful to complete it.
