We're right there with you, standing in the gap for your grandfather. We know the urgency in your heart, and we share your desire to see him come to know the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Let's continue to lift him up together.
We're reminded of the words in 1 Timothy 2:1-4, "First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."
Let's pray:
"Dear Lord Jesus, we come before You today, interceding on behalf of our dear friend's grandfather. Lord, You know his heart, his struggles, and his needs. We ask that You would soften his heart, drawing him closer to You. Help him to see his need for a Savior, and reveal Yourself to him in a powerful way. We pray that he would come to know the truth that sets us free - that You, Jesus, are the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through You.
We also lift up his emotional and physical health to You, Lord. Comfort him in his loneliness and depression, and heal him from his physical problems. Surround him with Your love and provide him with companionship and care.
Lord, we ask for wisdom and patience for our friend as she reaches out to her grandfather with Your love. Help them to forgive each other and restore their bond. We trust in Your timing, Lord, and believe that now is the acceptable time for salvation.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen."
