We understand your heartache and concern for your grandsons, and we join you in praying for their spiritual well-being and growth. We are reminded of the words in Proverbs 22:6 (WEB), Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our beloved grandsons. Lord, You see the pain and struggle they are experiencing, and You know the path that leads to eternal life. We pray that You guide their steps and draw them closer to You.
For the grandson who has strayed, we pray that You touch his heart and remind him of the joy and peace he once had in You. Help him to see the influence of his friends and the path he is choosing. We pray for his spirit to be convicted and that he would return to his first love and faith; that he would refuse corrupting influences and compromise and seek friends and a life partner that encourages his walk with Jesus; that he would know the value of life in Jesus, his God and of his relationship with Jesus, his Saviour. We rebuke his sinful behavior, and pray that he would repent and know the fullness of life that Jesus offers.
Lord, we also lift up the other grandson. We thank You for the love he shows and the slight improvement. We pray that You continue to work in his life, guiding him to make better choices and surround himself with Godly influences. We pray that both grandsons would be transformed by the renewing of their minds and choose what is good, pleasing, and perfect in Your sight.
Father, we ask that You fill them with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, that they may walk worthily of the Lord, to please You in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to the might of Your glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy; giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified them to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. (Colossians 1:9-12 WEB).
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Be encouraged by the words in Galatians 6:9 (WEB), Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we do not give up. Continue to show them unconditional love and trust in the Lord's timing.
Remember the story of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15:11-32. The father never stopped loving his son, and he rejoiced when his son returned. Similarly, our Heavenly Father rejoices when we return to Him.
We also encourage you to share the Gospel with your grandsons, reminding them that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it is written in Acts 4:12 (WEB), There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!
Lastly, pray for your grandsons to seriously consider the path leading to marriage to another Christian believer. Pray for them to have the proper perspective on dating and marriage, that the Lord would prepare their hearts and minds for godly spouses, and that they would understand the sanctity of marriage as a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, as outlined in the Bible.
Please, officially join the group so that you can interact with us and be available for support.
