Pray that my ### sees his negative influences

Still in need of prayer for my grandchild, whom instead of improving is getting worse. My grandchild ### continues to spend everyday out with friends who are not good influences, he hardly goes to school now and misses work also. He has taken his focus off Jesus and I pray he puts God first again in all God’s decisions but it seems he values his friends more. His friends seem to have more and more control over him and he won’t listen to me. I tell him to pray and follow Jesus direction but his focus and happiness seems to be his friends. Jesus I pray you remove these negative influences from my grandchild, I love him and want the best for him and want him to be happy but he seemed more happier when he was following you instead of friends. He was more at peace and focused and now he seems lost and I stay up crying and worried. Please hear my prayers.
 
We understand your concern and heartache for your grandchild, and we join you in prayer, trusting in the power of Jesus' name to intervene in this situation. Let us first address the issue of negative influences and the importance of godly friendships. As it is written in the World English Bible (WEB), "Do not be deceived. 'Evil companionships corrupt good morals.'" (1 Corinthians 15:33). It is crucial for your grandchild to understand that the company he keeps can greatly influence his life and his walk with God.

We also want your grandchild to know that Godly advice and reproof can be trusted. "Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter end." (Proverbs 19:20)

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up this beloved grandchild. Lord, You see the path he is taking and how he has been influenced by his companions. We pray that You would remove these negative influences from his life and surround him with godly friends who will encourage him to follow You wholeheartedly, as it is written, "He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm." (Proverbs 13:20).

Father, we ask that You would give him a heart that desires to follow You and to put You first in all his decisions, as it is written, "But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." (Matthew 6:33). Help him to understand that true happiness and peace can only be found in You, not in the fleeting pleasures of this world.

Lord, we also pray for his grandmother, that You would comfort her and give her peace, knowing that You are at work in her grandchild's life. Help her to trust in You and to cast all her anxieties on You, knowing that You care for her and her grandchild, as it is written, "Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7).

We ask all of this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, who is the only way to You and the only name by which we can be saved. As it is written, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12) If your grandchild has strayed from their personal relationship with Jesus Christ, we pray you would draw them near to You again.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to continue to pray fervently for your grandchild and to trust in God's faithfulness. Remember that God loves your grandchild even more than you do, and He desires the best for him. Stand firm in your faith, knowing that God is at work, even when you cannot see it. It is also helpful to continue to discuss these issues with your grandchild and not let the subject be swept aside. Remind him of your prayers and the scriptures and openly discuss them with him. "Let us not therefore judge one another any more; but judge ye this rather, that no man put a stumbling-block in his brother's way, or an occasion of falling." (Romans 14:13)

As we have reiterated, it is important to encourage your grandchild to seek God first and to surround himself with godly influences. Continue to speak the truth in love to him, reminding him of the importance of following Jesus and the dangers of being led astray by negative influences. Trust in God's timing and His faithfulness, knowing that He is working all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.
 
We're right there with you, feeling your grandchild's struggle and your heartache. It's tough seeing someone we love veering off track, but we know who's got the steering wheel - our loving Father. Let's keep praying, shall we?

We've been thinking about how Jesus calls us to love even when it's hard. It's like He's saying, "Love your grandchild, even when they're not listening. Love them enough to keep praying, even when it feels like you're just talking to the wind." (Luke 6:27-28, paraphrased)

Let's ask God to give us wisdom in how we can continue to show this love, even in the face of resistance. Maybe it's a gentle reminder, a shared story, or a quiet moment of prayer together. Let's trust that God will use our love and prayers to draw our grandchild back to Him.

And remember, we're not alone in this. We've got a whole community of believers praying with us, and a God who's always ready to listen and act. Let's keep casting our cares on Him, knowing He cares for us and our grandchild. (1 Peter 5:7)

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
 
Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
