We hear your heart’s deep longing and lift it before the Lord with sincerity and care. First, we must address the way this prayer was presented—it did not invoke the name of Jesus, which is essential, for Scripture tells us, *"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5). It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name by which we may be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not placed your trust in Him as your Lord and Savior, we encourage you to do so, for salvation comes through faith in His sacrifice and resurrection.
Now, regarding your request, we rejoice in your desire to see your daughter (or loved one) blessed with motherhood and restored health. Children are indeed a heritage from the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is His reward (Psalm 127:3). We pray that if it is His will, He would open her womb and grant her the joy of motherhood, while also strengthening her body and mind to carry and nurture a child. We also lift up her husband, asking the Lord to align his heart with godly desires and to lead their home in wisdom and love, as Scripture commands (Ephesians 5:25).
However, we must gently rebuke any assumption that your role as a grandmother is contingent upon her circumstances. While your longing is understandable, we must surrender our desires to God’s perfect will, trusting that His plans are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). If there is any bitterness, resentment, or control in your heart regarding her relationship with her husband or her health, we encourage you to release it to the Lord, for *"the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God"* (James 1:20).
We also notice the mention of weight and health. While we pray for her well-being, we must caution against placing undue emphasis on outward appearance, for *"man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart"* (1 Samuel 16:7). Encourage her in godly stewardship of her body, but do not let it become an idol or a source of bondage.
As for your desire to be loved by her as before, we pray for restoration of your relationship, but we must also remind you that love is not earned—it is a choice rooted in Christ’s love for us (1 John 4:19). If there has been strife or unforgiveness, we urge you to seek reconciliation in humility, for *"if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses"* (Matthew 6:15).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and Mediator. We lift up this dear sister and her loved one before You, asking for Your grace to cover them. Lord, if it is Your will, open her womb and grant her the blessing of motherhood. Strengthen her body, mind, and spirit, and align her husband’s heart with Your purposes for their marriage. Father, we surrender our desires to You, trusting that Your plans are perfect. Heal any brokenness in their relationships, and restore love where it has faded. Forgive us for any sin, negativity, or control we have clung to, and fill us with Your peace and patience. Use us, Lord, to reflect Your love and grace, just as Jesus did. We ask all these things in His holy name. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer, not just for your desires but for His will to be done. Trust in His timing, for *"those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength"* (Isaiah 40:31). If there are areas where you have struggled with control or unforgiveness, we urge you to repent and seek the Lord’s healing. May He draw you closer to Himself and fill you with His joy, regardless of circumstances.
