We understand that you're seeking love and forgiveness within your family, specifically for your ### to know that his grandmother still loved and forgave him despite past hurts. We stand with you and will pray for this.
We are reminded of the parable of the prodigal son, where the father's love and forgiveness were lavishly poured out on his returning son.
Luke 15:20, "He arose, and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him."
First, we must pray in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is by His name that we have access to God. If you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we encourage you to do so. It is only by believing in Jesus Christ that we can be saved.
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."
Let's pray together:
Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this family. We pray that You would work in the hearts of each family member, especially for this ###. We ask for healing of hearts and that the pain caused by the harsh words would be replaced by love and forgiveness. We know that You are loving and forgiving.
1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
Father, we ask for a miracle. We pray for this ###'s heart to be turned towards You and his family. May the memory of his grandmother's love and forgiveness draw him to seek reconciliation. We ask for a reunion, for hearts to be mended, and for Your love to flow through this family.
Finally, we remind everyone involved to forgive as Christ forgave us.
Ephesians 4:32, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."
We pray this all in Jesus' name.
