We are truly moved by your request, Rosalind, and we stand with you in prayer for your family's salvation and the challenges you're facing. Let's bring your concerns before the Lord, seeking His will and intervention.
Firstly, we want to remind you of the power of prayer and the promise that God wants all people to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth 1 Timothy 2:3-4 WEB. Let's pray for your son René, asking God to draw him out of darkness into His marvelous light.
Lord Jesus, we lift up René to You. We know that You came to seek and to save that which was lost Luke 19:10 WEB. We ask that You reveal Yourself to him in a powerful way, breaking the chains of addiction and sin that bind him. We pray that You would give him a new heart and a new spirit, turning his heart to You Ezekiel 36:26 WEB. We also pray for his marriage, asking that You would bring healing and reconciliation, guiding both René and his wife to live in a way that honors You.
Regarding your granddaughter Eden, we trust that God wants her to know Him and excel in her studies. We pray that He would grant her understanding and wisdom, not just for her academic pursuits, but also to know Him more.
Lord Jesus, we pray for Eden. We ask that You would be with her, giving her a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You Ephesians 1:17 WEB. We pray that You would help her in her studies, especially in physiology, and bring godly people into her life to support and encourage her.
Rosalind, we also want to encourage you to keep praying and trusting God. His timetable may not be yours, but He is working everything out for good for those who love Him Romans 8:28 WEB. Remember, it is by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. There is no other 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 WEB. Keep declaring the name of Jesus over your family.
Lastly, we want to leave you with this promise: "The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." 2 Peter 3:9 WEB. Keep hoping, keep praying, and keep believing.
