Advice needed

[Brokennlost2]

My grandson is ### and was headed the right way following Jesus. I was so proud of him. Then he started hanging around the wrong crown and met a girl and I feel they are chasing him unknowingly. He is putting them first before Jesus and is. I understand he’s a teen but he was doing so good and I just want him to keep on the path he was on but as long as he’s hanging around these certain friends and this certain girl, it won’t happen because they are doing shot off wrong things and it odds making him stray and out Jesus and his faith on the back burner while his friends and this person he wants to make his girlfriend are in the front seat. I pray Jesus sees his heart and pulls him back towards him. I really feel the enemy didn’t like to see him going towards Jesus and find his weakness and is tempting him daily with it. Today is mid week service and his grandfather birthday, when he was walking with Jesus, no matter the weather he would never miss church and he always put family first. All this had changed. Church and family don’t matter to him anymore. Please pray for him his name is ### and believe there is strength in prayer.

We understand your concern for your grandson and his spiritual walk. It's commendable that you want him to keep Jesus at the center of his life, especially during these formative teenage years. The Bible tells us, Do not be deceived. Evil companionships corrupt good morals. Wake up to soberness righteously, and do not sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

First, let's pray for your grandson:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ to lift up this beloved grandson. We thank you for the seeds of faith that have been planted in his heart and for the time when he was walking closely with you. Lord, we see that he has been distracted by new friendships and a potential relationship that seems to be drawing him away from you. We pray that you will call his name as you called Samuel and he will answer you. We pray that you will give him the spirit of discernment to recognize the wrong crowd he's associating with and the strength to turn away from temptations. Help him to see that following Jesus is more important and turn his focus back to Jesus and your word.

Now, let's address some biblical principles that apply to this situation. In 1 Corinthians 15:33, the Apostle Paul warns, Do not be deceived. Evil companionships corrupt good morals. This verse highlights the importance of surrounding ourselves with people who will encourage and strengthen our faith, not pull us away from it.

It's also crucial to remind your grandson of the importance of putting God first in all things. In Matthew 6:33, Jesus says, But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. This means that our primary focus should be on serving and following God, and everything else will fall into place according to His will.

We must not mince words in rebuke either. Your grandson's life is not compatible with the scripture that says to not love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever. Also, 1 Corinthians 6:18 says Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a man can do, such has been done outside of the body, but whoever commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? And you are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.

We encourage you to continue praying for your grandson and to trust in the power of prayer. Remember, in James 5:16, the Bible says, Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.

Lastly, we want to remind you of the importance of praying in Jesus' name. As it says in John 14:6, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. And in John 16:23, Jesus says, In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

Keep holding on to God's promises and believing in the power of prayer. Trust that God is working in your grandson's life, even in this challenging time.

We're here for you and your grandson. We've been where you are, watching a loved one stray from the path they were once on. It's heartbreaking, but remember, God is always at work, even in the hardest times.

Let's pray together for your grandson. "Dear Lord, we come to you today, laying our hearts before you. We ask that you draw your beloved grandson back to you. Help him see the friends and relationships that are pulling him away from you, and give him the strength to turn away from them. Help him remember the joy and peace he found when he was walking with you. Remind him that following you is the only way to true happiness and fulfillment. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We need to encourage him to surround himself with people who will uplift and strengthen his faith, not pull him away from it. Let's remind him of 1 Corinthians 15:33, "Do not be misled: 'Bad company corrupts good character.'" He needs to be around people who will encourage him in his faith, not lead him astray.

Also, remind him of Matthew 6:33, "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." His focus should be on serving and following God, and everything else will fall into place according to Your will.

Let's keep praying for him, trusting in the power of prayer. As James 5:16 tells us, "The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." And remember, we can approach God with confidence because of what Jesus did for us. As John 14:6 tells us, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" So, we can come to the Father with confidence in Jesus' name.

Keep holding on to God's promises, and trust that He is working in your grandson's life, even in this challenging time. Let's keep praying, believing, and trusting in God's power to draw your grandson back to Him.

[Wernad]

A prayer was lifted on behalf of a young man named ###, who had once walked steadfastly with Jesus but has recently been drawn away by negative influences. It was asked that God, who knows the heart and sees every struggle (1 Samuel 16:7), would intervene mercifully in his life, pulling him back toward His loving embrace.

For the friendships and relationships that have taken priority over his faith, it was prayed that the Lord would grant discernment and wisdom, helping him recognize unhealthy influences while drawing him closer to godly companionship as encouraged in Proverbs 13:20: “Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.” The prayer included a plea for protection against the enemy’s schemes, trusting that God is stronger than any temptation or distraction (1 Corinthians 10:13).

It was also prayed that the Holy Spirit would reignite the fire of faith within him, reminding him of the joy he once found in serving Jesus and attending church, even amidst challenges. As he navigates this season of life, it was entrusted to God that he would rediscover the importance of family and spiritual priorities, aligning his heart once again with Psalm 37:23: “The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in Him.”

Finally, gratitude was expressed for the strength found in prayer, believing that where two or more gather in Jesus’ name, He is present among them (Matthew 18:20). This prayer was offered humbly and confidently in Jesus’ name, trusting that He hears and answers according to His perfect timing and purpose.

Father lift young person up to You, his circumstances, people, places, and things that are not healthy, please interrupt the pull of the world as described in these verses "Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world." (1 John 2:15-16)

Lord Jesus You overcame these as described in Matthew 4. Please close doors of temptation Lord. Please open his eyes give him a love for what is good and hatred for evil. Please give strength to the family to wrestle in prayer for him and redirect him toward a spiritual path. IN Jesus Name Amen.
