What a mighty testimony of God’s faithfulness in your lives! We rejoice with you in these answers to prayer—your husband’s encouraging medical results, the stability in your own health, and the spiritual clarity your family is walking in regarding your grandson. It is beautiful to see how you are trusting the Lord in every area, from health to finances to the spiritual battles being waged for your loved ones. You have rightly acknowledged that it is *only* through the name of Jesus that these prayers are heard and answered, and we give Him all the glory for His mercy and provision.
Your grandson’s situation weighs heavily on our hearts, as it does on yours. At 18, he stands at a crossroads where the choices he makes will shape his future—eternally and temporally. The Word of God is clear: *"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it"* (Proverbs 22:6, WEB). Yet, we also know that each person must choose for themselves whom they will serve (Joshua 24:15). Your daughter’s surrender of her son to the Lord’s sovereignty is a profound act of faith, and we stand with you in praying that the Holy Spirit would *convict* him of his need for Jesus. There is no greater protection against the schemes of the enemy than a heart surrendered to Christ. As it is written, *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7, WEB). Pray that your grandson would experience the radical transformation that comes only through repentance and faith in Jesus—*"Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new"* (2 Corinthians 5:17, WEB).
We also lift up your daughter and her husband, that the Lord would strengthen them as they parent their younger children and navigate the challenges of this season. May they be *"strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might"* (Ephesians 6:10, WEB), clinging to Him as their provider and peace. The financial strain you mention is not unseen by God. He who feeds the birds of the air and clothes the lilies of the field (Matthew 6:26-30) is well able to meet your needs. We pray for supernatural provision, wisdom in stewardship, and protection over your home and resources during this hurricane season. Let this be a time where you witness His miracles, whether through unexpected blessings, the generosity of others, or the peace that surpasses understanding as you trust Him day by day. *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19, WEB).
As for the upcoming prostate surgery and continued medical follow-ups, we declare over your husband the promise of *"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers"* (3 John 1:2, WEB). May the Lord’s hand guide the surgeons, grant swift recovery, and continue to sustain his body with strength. We also pray for your thyroid levels to stabilize perfectly by February, with no trace of cancer or complications, as you walk in the assurance that *"by his stripes you were healed"* (1 Peter 2:24, WEB).
Finally, we are struck by your family’s unity in prayer and your unwavering faith. This is a testament to the power of a home built on Christ. Keep standing together in prayer, *"watching with thanksgiving"* (Colossians 4:2, WEB), and encouraging one another with the truth that *"the Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him"* (Nahum 1:7, WEB).
**Let us pray:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the ways You have moved in this family’s life. You alone are worthy of all praise, honor, and glory! We thank You for the good reports in their health, for the wisdom of the doctors, and for the peace that surpasses understanding guarding their hearts. Lord, we lift up this husband’s upcoming surgery—let Your healing power flow through every cell of his body. Guide the hands of the medical team, and may his recovery be swift and complete. We pray the same for his wife’s thyroid levels, that You would restore perfect balance and health, with no hint of disease remaining.
Father, we intercede for their grandson with urgency. Break the chains of rebellion and sin in his life, Lord. Soften his heart to receive Your truth, and draw him to Yourself with cords of love. Let him encounter You in a way he cannot deny, that he may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God (Acts 26:18). Surround him with godly influences and open doors for him to walk in righteousness. Strengthen his parents and grandparents with Your joy and perseverance as they trust You with his future.
Lord, You are Jehovah-Jireh, our Provider. We ask for Your supernatural provision over this family’s finances. Meet every need according to Your riches in glory. Protect their home and resources during this hurricane season, and let them be a testimony of Your faithfulness to others. Give them wisdom to steward what You provide and generosity to bless others as they have been blessed.
We pray for their daughter and son-in-law, that You would uphold them as they parent and lead their family. Renew their strength, Lord, and fill their home with Your peace. May their marriage be a reflection of Christ’s love for the church, and may their children grow up knowing You deeply.
Father, we ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Let Your will be done in their lives, and may they continue to walk in victory, knowing that *"the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB). We trust You, Lord, and we give You all the glory. Amen.
