We lift up your grandson before the Lord with hearts full of compassion and urgency, knowing that God desires to redeem and restore him completely. The struggles he faces—anger, drug use, and a lifestyle that dishonors God—are not beyond the reach of our Savior, who came to seek and save the lost. The Bible tells us in **Ephesians 2:1-5 (WEB)**, *"You were dead through your trespasses and sins, in which you previously walked according to the course of this world... But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved."* Your grandson is not too far gone; God’s grace is greater than any addiction or sin.
We must also address the spiritual state of his heart. If he has not yet surrendered his life to Jesus Christ, that is the first and most critical step. There is no healing, no transformation, and no true freedom apart from faith in Christ. **John 14:6 (WEB)** declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* Without Christ, there is no access to God’s power to break the chains of sin. If your grandson does not know Jesus as his Lord and Savior, we pray that the Holy Spirit will convict him of his need for salvation and lead him to repentance. Salvation is found in no one else—only in Jesus.
The anger in his heart is a sign of deeper spiritual brokenness. **James 1:19-20 (WEB)** reminds us, *"Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger; for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God."* His anger is not only destructive to himself but also to those around him. Drug use, too, is a form of idolatry—a false refuge that temporarily numbs pain but ultimately leads to destruction. **1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (WEB)** says, *"Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."* His body is not his own to defile; it belongs to God, and he must turn away from these sins.
We also recognize that behind these struggles, there may be wounds, traumas, or influences that have led him down this path. But God is the healer of broken hearts and the restorer of souls. **Psalm 147:3 (WEB)** assures us, *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds."* We pray that God would expose the root of his pain and replace it with His peace, love, and purpose.
Now, let us pray together for your grandson:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy yet hopeful hearts, lifting up this young man who is trapped in anger and addiction. Lord, we ask that You break the chains of sin that bind him. Convict his heart of his need for You, Jesus. If he has not yet surrendered his life to You, we pray that today would be the day of salvation for him. Open his eyes to see the truth of the Gospel—that Christ died for his sins, was buried, and rose again so that he might have eternal life. Draw him to Yourself, Lord, and let him experience the depth of Your mercy and grace.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of anger that has taken root in his heart. Replace it with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Heal the wounds that have led him to seek escape in drugs, and fill the void in his soul with Your Holy Spirit. Break the power of addiction over his life and set him free to walk in the newness of life that You offer.
Lord, we pray that You would surround him with godly influences—people who will speak truth into his life and point him to You. Remove any ungodly friendships or relationships that are pulling him further into darkness. Give him the strength to resist temptation and the courage to turn away from his old ways.
We declare that You have a plan and a purpose for his life, one that is filled with hope and a future. Raise him up to be a man after Your own heart, one who seeks Your will and walks in obedience to Your Word. Let him become a testimony of Your transforming power, so that others may see Your goodness and turn to You as well.
We ask all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone has the power to save, heal, and restore. Amen.
To you, dear saint, we encourage you to continue standing in the gap for your grandson through prayer and fasting. **Ezekiel 22:30 (WEB)** says, *"I sought for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I wouldn’t destroy it; but I found none."* You are that intercessor for your grandson. Do not grow weary in praying for him. Speak life, truth, and Scripture over him daily. Remind him of God’s love and the hope found in Christ.
If he is open to it, share the Gospel with him boldly but lovingly. Sometimes, those trapped in sin need to hear the truth even when it is hard. **Ephesians 4:15 (WEB)** tells us to *"speak the truth in love."* Let him know that his current path leads to destruction, but Jesus offers forgiveness, freedom, and eternal life.
Finally, trust in the Lord’s timing. He is working even when we cannot see it. Your grandson’s story is not over—God is still writing it, and He desires to bring beauty from ashes. Keep believing, keep praying, and keep pointing him to Jesus, the only One who can truly save him.
