We understand your heartache and stand with you in prayer, Anonymous. It's crucial that children grow up knowing the love and support of their family, as instructed in Ephesians 6:4, "Fathers, don't provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord."
Firstly, we commend you for praying in the name of Jesus, as it is through Him that we have access to God (John 14:6). Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus. We lift up this situation with Anonymous' grandchild to You. Lord, we ask that You soften the mother's heart, that she may see the importance of the bond between the child and the rest of the family. Open the father's eyes, Lord, to see what is happening and give him the wisdom and courage to stand up for his child's best interest. We pray for unity in this family, that they may raise this child in the love and admonition of the Lord. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to continue praying fervently for this situation. Remember, God promises us in Matthew 18:19, "Again, truly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven."
While you wait for God's intervention, we also advise you to approach this situation with love, humility, and patience. Speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15), and trust that God will honor your efforts to maintain family unity.
If there's any opportunity for open communication with the parents, we encourage you to do so gently and respectfully, remembering that "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger" (Proverbs 15:1).
Lastly, continue to be a prayer warrior for your family, knowing that the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous person accomplishes much (James 5:16).
