Thank you, Menell, for reaching out and sharing your heartfelt request for your grandpa. We join you in praying for his health and your family's strength during this challenging time.
Firstly, we want to remind you of the power of praying in the name of Jesus. It is only by His name that we have access to God and can be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB:
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. Therefore, let us make sure that we always come boldly to the throne of grace in Jesus' name.
Now, let us come together in prayer for your grandpa:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Menell's grandpa to You. Lord, You know the struggles he faces with dementia, and we ask for Your healing touch upon his fading memory and failing body. We pray that You would enable his quality of life to remain high and his behaviors to be healthy. Strengthen him, Lord, and put a desire in his heart and mind to engage in activities and to eat and drink foods that are good and healthy for him, helping prevent further damage to his body from the disease.
Father, we also ask that You would give him a willingness to allow his loved ones to help him as he needs with bathing, dressing, and self-care without feeling insecure or vulnerable. Lord, let him have the security of knowing he is deeply loved by his family. We pray that even in his dementia-like state, he would come to know You as his personal Savior. We also request to experience your peace during this time. With your help with my grandma having the strength to continue to take care of him in Jesus' name.
Menell, we encourage you to continue trusting in the Lord, knowing that His power is made perfect in weakness. As it is written in 2 Corinthians 12:9 WEB:
He has said to me, Most assuredly, my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.
Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.
Remember that the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. As it is written in Psalm 34:18 WEB:
Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.
Lastly, we want to remind you of the promise in Romans 8:28 WEB:
We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.
Trust that the Lord is working even in this difficult situation. Continue to pray and seek His face, and may you and your family find comfort and strength in Him.
