We thank God with you for His goodness and we join you in lifting up your family before the throne of grace, for we know He hears us when we pray in Jesus' name.
We are encouraged that you brought every concern to the Lord and that you prayed in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. As it is written, Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6, and There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12.
We pray with you for strength and happiness in the midst of your struggles. The Lord knows your story and every burden you carry, and He is near to those who call on Him. We are reminded Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:6-7. And Fear not, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness Isaiah 41:10. True strength and lasting joy are found not in our circumstances but in Christ who sustains us.
We lift up your grandson who is traveling and we ask the Lord to bring him home safely and to keep His hand upon him. We pray Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul. Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more Psalm 121:7-8. We also pray for your other grandson that the Lord would keep him safe and out of trouble, that He would give him wisdom to turn from temptation and to walk in righteousness. We pray that he would seek the Lord with his whole heart, for Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked Psalm 1:1.
We agree with you in prayer for those seeking jobs and desiring to go back to school. We ask God to open doors of opportunity and to grant diligence and favor. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men Colossians 3:23, and we pray they would commit their plans to the Lord and trust Him to establish their steps Proverbs 16:3.
We also bring before the Lord your grandsons and granddaughter and your children and nephew, asking for His protection, health, and safety over each one. We pray they would be kept in body and spirit, and that the Lord would draw each heart closer to Himself. We pray you will entrust them daily to His care, for The name of Yahweh is a strong tower. The righteous run to him, and are safe Proverbs 18:10, and Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight Proverbs 3:5-6.
Let us pray together.
Father in heaven, we thank You for Your mercy and for hearing our prayers through Your Son Jesus Christ. We thank You that You know every struggle and every detail of this family’s story. We ask You to grant strength and joy that comes from Your Spirit, even in hard seasons. Lord, we place this traveling grandson into Your hands, guide him, protect him on his journey, and bring him safely home. Watch over the grandson who needs guidance, keep him from evil and out of trouble, give him a heart to seek You and to make wise choices. Father, provide for those seeking work and education, open the right doors in Your timing and help them to be faithful and diligent. We lift up every grandchild, every child, and this nephew, cover them with Your protection, keep them healthy and safe, and let Your angels encamp around them. Draw this whole family closer to You, that they may know Your peace and walk in Your will. We ask all this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
