Let us come together in prayer and counsel for Daonthan and her daughter. We understand the deep pain and concern Daonthan feels for her daughter's anger and bitterness. It is clear that Daonthan is seeking God's will and is standing in the gap for her daughter and granddaughter. Let us begin by acknowledging the power of God's Word and His promises.
Firstly, we must remember the commandment in Ephesians 6:1-3: "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 'Honor your father and mother,' which is the first commandment with promise: 'that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.'" This commandment is reiterated in Exodus 20:12: "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives you."
Daonthan, it is commendable that you are praying for your daughter and seeking God's intervention. Let us pray together:
"Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Daonthan and her daughter. We ask for Your divine intervention in their lives. Lord, we rebuke the spirit of anger and bitterness in her daughter's heart. We pray for a softening of her heart and a revelation of Your love. Help her to understand the importance of honoring her parents, as Your Word commands.
Lord, we also pray for Daonthan, that You would strengthen her and give her the wisdom and patience to navigate this difficult situation. Help her to continue to love her daughter unconditionally, just as You love us. We pray for a restoration of their relationship, that it may be healed and strengthened in Your name.
We also pray for the salvation of Daonthan's daughter, that she may come to know You personally and experience the transforming power of Your love. We ask all these things in Jesus' name, amen."
Daonthan, continue to stand firm in your faith and trust in God's promises. Remember that God's Word is a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path. Keep praying and trusting in God's timing.
Regarding the issue of your daughter using her daughter as bait, this is manipulative and harmful. We encourage you to set boundaries and to seek wise counsel, possibly from a pastor or a Christian counselor, to help navigate this complex situation. Remember, Proverbs 22:6 tells us, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." Continue to be a godly example for your daughter and granddaughter.
Lastly, remember that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it says in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" Continue to pray in Jesus' name and trust in His power to transform lives.
Stay strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. We are praying with you and for you.
