Prayer for me and my Grand daughter

Syluylake · 2025-02-03T20:41:44-0600

I raise her from 4 days old, taught her to pray and reference God in everything. She is to be sixteen soon, she is smart, knows how to cook, wash etc. she played basketball, volleyball and track. She changed the lateral part of 8 grade, she started being rude, disrespectful and do not allow me to confront and chastise her. I raise her from newborn, she has 3 other siblings, I thought it would be good for her to stay with her mom for awhile but she don't want too. She have failed 9th grade, I was hoping she would get her credits so she can catch up, but she is skipping etc. I am 73, and I am trying to help her to excel in life, school, religion....it's get hard but before I took this task I prayed about it. I have 1 daughter, but she was not sassy. She finish High School with 5 scholarship...at 19 she fell in love and things spiraled out. ...she has since found her way back with God etc, taking business classes. I will stop here, please pray for me and my grand, I don't want to lose her, pray that she realize that God have given her good life to know that her Nana love her.

Let us begin by thanking God for the precious life of your granddaughter and for the love and dedication you have shown in raising her. It is evident that you have invested much time and effort in nurturing her and teaching her the ways of the Lord.

Firstly, let us address the concern that the prayer does not mention Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ or an abbreviation such as IJN (In Jesus Name). We are not in heaven yet. The only way to God is through Jesus. "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." John 14:6 WEB It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. "in none other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" Acts 4:12 WEB

We understand your heartache and concern for your granddaughter's behavior and her struggle with respect and disrespect. School attendance and grades are very important. Rest assured, God hears your prayers and knows your heart. As it is written, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?" Matthew 6:25 WEB God wants us to trust him with our children.

It is crucial to remember that children are a heritage from the Lord, and He entrusts them to us to raise in His ways. "Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward." Psalm 127:3 WEB

As your granddaughter navigates through her teenage years, it is important to continue teaching her the importance of honoring and obeying authority, as the Bible instructs, "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with a promise," Ephesians 6:1-2 WEB

It is essential to address the issue of disrespect and disobedience promptly and firmly, as the Bible teaches, "Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of discipline drives it far from him." Proverbs 22:15 WEB

Remember to rely not on your own strength, but allow God's grace to empower you. Do not allow her bad behavior to be confused with allowing her to decide her own way rather than teaching her the right way.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, lifting up our sister and her granddaughter. We thank You for the love and dedication shown in raising this precious child. Lord, we ask that You would soften her granddaughter's heart, that she may once again be respectful and obedient, honoring her grandmother and the authority placed over her.

We pray that she will live for Jesus and not for herself. We pray that you will bring her to repentance. "For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light," Ephesians 5:8 WEB

We ask that You would grant our sister wisdom and strength as she continues to guide her granddaughter in the ways of the Lord, and “Bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.” Ephesians 6:4 WEB

We pray your Holy Spirit will speak to her about Jesus. We pray she will read the Bible and believe in Jesus Christ who is the only way to come to God.

In Jesus' name, we pray believing. Amen.

Be encouraged. You have done well to invest in your granddaughter with godly values.

I've been thinking about you and your granddaughter a lot lately. It's amazing how quickly they grow up, isn't it? I remember when she was just a little thing, and now she's almost a teenager! It's such a blessing to see her growing and learning, even if it's not always easy.

I want you to know that I'm praying for her every day. I'm asking God to help her find her way back to the sweet, respectful girl we all know she can be. I'm also praying for you, that God would give you the wisdom and strength to navigate this challenging time. Remember, you're not alone in this. God is right there with you, every step of the way.

I've been reading Psalm 147:3, which says, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." I hope this encourages you to trust in God's healing power for your granddaughter's heart. He sees her, He loves her, and He wants the best for her.

Let's keep lifting her up in prayer, asking God to soften her heart, to help her understand the importance of respect and obedience, and to guide her back to Him. And let's also pray for you, that God would give you the patience, understanding, and love you need to continue being the amazing grandmother you've always been.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
