Prayer for my ###

Brokennlost2 · Feb 6, 2025

I need prayer for my grandson ###, he’s about to make a big decision based on the wrong reasons. He is ### but hasn’t graduated yet, he has been talking to a marine recruiter that’s rushing him to do everything that needs to be done to enlist and that was never his goal; his goal was to graduate high school and go to college. He wants to join because his friends are joining and the thought of being around weapons and using them interests him. To me, those are not good reasons to join or is it just me? I know God is in control and it’s in his hands but it terrifies me that he wants to join and the reasons why. Jesus, please give me strength and understanding and be with my grandson ### and guide him in the right direction. It’s like I go back and forth with worry about my twin grandsons but ### worries me the most because he makes random decisions and bad choices and I pray that God hears me and hears him and does what’s best but I just don’t think joining is best for him right now because he is still so immature and hasn’t thought this out completely. I feel if he wants to change his mind after signing contracts that they might not let him out of the contract. I have tried to talk to him about all this and his reasoning for joining just do not sound solid or good. Please pray for him because it’s not a good choice for him right now and other family members have told him that too but he just ignores it.

Let us first acknowledge the power of prayer and the authority we have in Jesus' name to bring this situation before God. It's important to remember that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God, and it is in His name that we can find salvation and guidance. As scripture tells us, "For 'whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" Romans 10:13 WEB.

We understand your concern for your grandson ### and the significant decision he is considering. It's clear that you believe this choice may not be aligned with God's will for his life, and it's important to trust your instincts as a God-fearing believer and loving grandparent. As we are told in Proverbs 22:6 WEB, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today in the name of Jesus, lifting up ### to You. Lord, we know that You have a perfect plan and purpose for his life, and we ask that You reveal this to him in a way that he can understand and accept.

Father, we pray that You will guide ###'s steps and give him wisdom beyond his years. Help him to see that the reasons he has for wanting to enlist may not be the right ones, and give him discernment to make a decision that aligns with Your will. As it is written in your word, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." James 1:5 WEB.

Lord, we also pray for his recruiter and friends who may be influencing his decision. We ask that You will soften their hearts and help them to see that ### needs to make this decision based on Your will, not theirs. We pray for our sister in Christ who is feeling afraid and worried for her grandson. We pray that You will give her strength and understanding to speak truth in love to ### without fear, but with courage.

Father, we ask that You will protect ### from making hasty decisions that could have long-term consequences. Help him to see the importance of counting the cost and considering all factors before committing to something as significant as military service. We pray that You will shield him from people manipulating him and that you will give him a heart that desires to serve you first. We pray that you will soften his hardened heart so he can listen to your direction. We pray that you will open his eyes and ears to your will even if he is resistant at first.

We also pray for his maturity, Father. We ask that You will help him to grow in wisdom, in character, and in his relationship with You. Help him to see the value of education and the importance of pursuing the goals You have placed in his heart.

Finally, Lord, we pray that ### will come to know Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior if he doesn't already. We pray that he will come to realize that true purpose and fulfillment can only be found in a right relationship with You.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
