We join you in lifting up your grandson and your family before the Lord, and we thank you for invoking the precious name of Jesus in your prayer—for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. Your heart’s cry is heard, and we stand with you in faith, trusting that God is working even when we cannot see the full picture. The Scriptures remind us in **Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB)**, *"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."* Though the waiting is hard and the answers may not come as swiftly as we hope, we must cling to the truth that God’s ways are higher than ours, and His timing is perfect.
We also gently remind you that our prayers must always align with God’s will, not merely our desires. While we fervently ask for your grandson’s release and for God to place him on a path of righteousness, we must also pray for his heart to be transformed. If he has strayed from the Lord, we ask God to draw him back in repentance and surrender. **Jeremiah 29:11 (WEB)** assures us, *"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."* Let us trust that God’s plans for your grandson are far greater than our own, even if the journey includes trials that refine and redirect him.
If there are areas in your grandson’s life—such as rebellion, ungodly influences, or sin—that may be hindering God’s work, we must pray for conviction and change. The Bible warns in **Isaiah 59:1-2 (WEB)**, *"Behold, Yahweh’s hand is not shortened, that it can’t save; nor his ear dull, that it can’t hear. But your iniquities have separated you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear."* Let us pray not only for his circumstances to shift but for his heart to turn fully to Christ, for that is the greatest freedom of all.
We also encourage you to examine your own heart in this season. Are there areas of unbelief, bitterness, or fear that may be clouding your faith? **James 1:6-7 (WEB)** tells us, *"But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed. For let that man not think that he will receive anything from the Lord."* Let us ask God to strengthen your faith and fill you with His peace as you wait upon Him.

**Our Prayer for You and Your Grandson:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious grandmother and her grandson. Lord, You see the tears she has shed, the prayers she has whispered, and the longing in her heart for her grandson’s freedom and salvation. We ask that You move mightily in his court case this Wednesday, granting favor where it is needed and justice according to Your will. But more than anything, Lord, we pray for his soul. If he has turned away from You, convict his heart and draw him back into Your loving arms. Break every chain of sin, rebellion, or ungodly influence in his life, and set him on a path of righteousness that leads to true success—success that is found only in You.
Father, we also lift up this dear saint who is wrestling with unanswered prayer. Comfort her heart and remind her that You are not distant, nor are You unaware of her pain. Strengthen her faith to trust You even when the answers tarry. Fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and let her rest in the assurance that You are working all things together for good—even in the waiting.
We rebuke any spirit of discouragement, doubt, or fear that may be attacking her mind. Let her stand firm on Your promises, knowing that You are faithful and that Your love for her and her grandson is unwavering. Surround this family with Your protection, wisdom, and grace. Guide them into Your truth, and let Your will be done in their lives, for Your glory.
In the powerful and holy name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
