We are truly sorry to hear about the estrangement you're experiencing with your daughter and granddaughters, Ceth. In times like these, it's important to remember that the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18, WEB).
Firstly, we want to commend you for taking the initiative to apologize. It shows humility and a desire to reconcile. However, it's crucial to understand that true repentance is not just about saying sorry, but also about changing our behavior and seeking forgiveness from God. As it is written, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9, WEB).
Let us pray together:
*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Ceth who is in deep emotional pain. Lord, you know the intricacies of this situation, and we ask for your healing and restoration. We pray that Ceth's apologies are received and that relationships are mended. Guide Ceth by your Holy Spirit, helping them to live and speak in a way that honors you and brings peace. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*
In the meantime, Ceth, we encourage you to be patient and to keep loving them from a distance. Love is patient and kind, not seeking its own way (1 Corinthians 13:4-5, WEB). Continue to pray for them and trust that God is working in their hearts, just as he is working in yours.
Lastly, we want to ensure that you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is in his name that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12, WEB). If you have any doubts or questions about this, we encourage you to reach out so we can guide you further.
