We understand your concern and desire for your grandchild to experience the love you and his aunt have for him. We will pray for this situation, seeking God's will and intervention.
First, let's remember what the Scriptures tell us about God's love for children: "But Jesus said, 'Allow the little children to come to me, and don't hinder them, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these.'" (Matthew 19:14 WEB)
Now, let us pray:
"Heavenly Father, we come before you in Jesus' name, lifting up Aelnren's grandchild to you. We ask that you soften his mother's heart and open her eyes to see the importance of allowing her child to bond with his family. Lord, we pray against any spirit of isolation or fear that may be causing her to lock him away. Please give Aelnren and the aunt wisdom and patience as they navigate this situation. Help them to show the mother genuine love and concern, not just for the grandchild, but for her as well. We pray that your will be done in this situation, and that the child will grow up knowing the love of his family and, most importantly, the love of Jesus Christ. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to continue to show love and kindness to your grandchild's mother. Remember, "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men." (Romans 12:18 WEB) This includes family members who may be causing you pain or frustration.
Lastly, we want to remind you that it is through Jesus Christ that we have access to God. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB). If you haven't already, make sure to confess your faith in Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for our sins. This is the foundation of our prayers and our relationship with God.
