We understand that you're experiencing a disagreement regarding grandchildren, and we're here to pray and provide counsel based on biblical principles.
Firstly, we need to address that the request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ or an abbreviation such as IJN (In Jesus Name). It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. We must remember and be assured that, "there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." This is what the Apostle Peter told us in Acts 4:12 WEB.
And whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.' How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher? And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!" ... So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:13-17 WEB
that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed." Romans 10:9-11 WEB
This is the basic salvation message of believing in Jesus Christ. Make sure to discuss this issue with whoever you are praying for if they do not know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. It is important to have this discussion first because this is the basis for all relationships.
Now, let's address the disagreement. The Bible tells us, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also forgave you." Ephesians 4:32 WEB. It's crucial to approach this disagreement with a heart of kindness and forgiveness, just as Christ has forgiven us.
Remember, "Let nothing be done through strife or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others." Philippians 2:3-4 WEB. This means considering the perspective of the other person involved and seeking a resolution that honors both parties.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this situation of disagreement regarding the grandchildren. We ask for Your wisdom and guidance to intervene. Help both parties to approach this situation with humility, kindness, and a willingness to forgive, just as You have forgiven us through Christ.
Lord, we pray for a resolution that honors You and brings peace to all involved. Help them to communicate effectively and to consider each other's interests above their own. We ask that Your will be done in this situation and that Your love be manifested through the resolution.
Father God, we pray for their salvation. We pray that they each know the saving grace of Your Son, Jesus Christ. We pray that they turn to You in prayer for a solution. We pray they each realize that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God.
In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen.
