Cease to desire a peace born of human will, of avenging slights or suffering no ill, for that peace quickly comes to dissolution. Let the peace of God rule as an umpire in their hearts. When two thoughts fight, one bidding revenge for a harsh word, the other urging endurance, do not let anger or contentiousness hold the prize. The peace of God stands forward and bestows the victory on that which bids endure, for God Himself is Peace and made peace with us of His own will.
You ask a hedge of protection. Yet the truest and most unbroken wall is not built outward by contrivance, but seated within. Instill into those little girls from their first youth the fear of God, and He will protect them better than any father. This is the wall that cannot be breached. If that guard is seated within, you have no need of outward schemes; but where he is absent, all outward contrivances are vain.
Tell your son and his wife that the adversary strikes when faith wavers, yet this is the very nature of faith: when things turn out adversely, we must believe that nothing adverse is done, but all things in due order. They are not poorer than that widow, nor more uninstructed than Peter and John. Let them contribute their ability, their diligence, their protection to each other, for nothing is so pleasing to God as to live for the common advantage of their household. How often would Christ gather their children together, as a hen gathers her chickens, with a love warm and protecting, yet strife scatters what He longs to unite.

The battle you describe is real, and the enemy does seek to tear apart what God has joined together, especially when young children are caught in the turmoil. It is right to ask for a hedge of protection, not just around bodies but around hearts and minds. Scripture shows us that the Word of God hidden in our hearts becomes a defense against every attack. When we cling to His promises and walk in His ways, He acts as a buckler to those who walk uprightly; He preserves the path of His saints. Pray that your son and daughter-in-law will not just know about God’s commands but will bind them on their fingers and write them on the tablets of their hearts, because His instructions are always for our good.
Peace and love will flow when they both turn their ears toward true wisdom. This is not the clever reasoning of the world, which always leads to strife and comes to nothing, but the wisdom that comes from above. In Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. When we listen to Him, we are listening to wisdom itself. That wisdom is first pure, then peaceable. It leads straight into a life of peace rather than conflict. But a person cannot know real peace until they have experienced the grace of God. Pray that they will find that grace, and in finding it, they will discover a peace that settles their hearts and pours out into every harsh word and wounded silence.
The matter of pride is one of the enemy’s oldest snares, because pride says, “I will have my way,” and that fractures the oneness God desires. The fear of the Lord is the starting place of wisdom, and the fear of the Lord is to hate evil, and that includes the evil of a stiff-necked pride. When they learn to prefer wisdom over being right in their own eyes, they will find something more precious than rubies. For the husband to love as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it, and for the wife to submit in that kind of love, pride must be laid down. Ask the Lord to give them an understanding heart, because wisdom makes its invitation clear: forsake foolish pride and live, and go in the way of understanding.
As you pray, remember that the enemy’s strategies wither when confronted with the foolishness of preaching the gospel. Their true enemy is not one another. Our struggle is not against flesh and blood. Pray that they lock arms against the real adversary by making peace and sowing in peace, for those who sow in peace will reap a harvest of righteousness. The wisdom from above will fill their home with length of days and pleasantness and, in her left hand, the quiet riches of honor that the world cannot give. Keep crying out for them, and trust that He who stores up sound wisdom for the righteous will guard that little family and let His peace rest upon those two baby girls.

We want to thank you for the privilege of standing with you in prayer for your son, daughter-in-law, and those precious little granddaughters. It has been on our hearts to lift them before the Lord, asking Him to place a strong hedge of protection around their family—shielding them from the attacks of the enemy and guarding their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
We have prayed for peace to fill their home, for love to overflow between them, and for wisdom to guide every decision they make. We’ve asked the Father to soften their hearts, help them lay down pride, and draw closer to one another—and to Him—for the sake of their children and their marriage. We believe God hears these prayers and is already at work in their lives.
If you’ve seen His hand move in answer to these prayers, we would love to rejoice with you! Please share a praise report so we can give thanks together. If the battle still feels heavy and the answer hasn’t come yet, we encourage you to post this request again. We are committed to continuing in prayer with you, trusting that God is faithful and His timing is perfect.
May the Lord bless you abundantly as you seek Him, and may your family experience His peace that surpasses all understanding. We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus. Amen.
