This is a prayer I have prepared for my granddaughter and her friends. A prayer of love from a Grandma who cares.
See my earlier post titled "Fired Friend" for more details.
They Call Me,
Grandma
The Prayer in the Video written out:
Dear heavenly Father I come before your throne once again to
pray for my granddaughter and her friends to find a face to their pain. To know
what it is in order to deal with it. Help us as their love ones to show them
they are loved as we help them to receive that into their lives. I pray they
will no longer buy into the lie that they are unloved, ugly, and that they are
responsible for filling the void in their lives. Board up their hiding place of
pot smoking, cigarettes, drinking and sex. Block their escape leaving open only
the path leading straight to You, Lord God.
Help them to see their constant companion that is always
there for them is Jesus not their marijuana. Take away the cushion they feel
they can lean on as they learn to lean on You, Lord Jesus. May they realize
they don’t need to feel like they want to make themselves go away.
May their hunger for love and attention be filled in a good
way thru Jesus, their parents, love ones and friends who truly care. Keep them from
believing the lie that sex and having a baby will cure what they are dealing
with. May they know neither is meant to fill the void or heal the pain they are
feeling deep down inside. Indeed sex, drinking, and drugs only puts a temporary
bandage over something that requires the healing power of Jesus.
I pray they will find their bodies and inner selves in order
to reclaim each for themselves and for You Lord God as they take back what life
has stolen from them. May they know they don’t need to do strange things
anymore in order to cope. I pray each of will stand aside in order to allow You
Lord God to work the miracles in their lives that will restore themselves unto
You Lord.
Place strong and sturdy patches over their broken hearts and
spirits to reinforce the strength felt in their hearts thru You Lord God. Show
them the definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again and
expecting different results. Demonstrate to them they don’t need to steal and
do the things they do as they can just be themselves. May they always remember
it’s Satan that wants them back in the dumpster and that it’s You Lord Jesus
who wants them safe, healed and restored.
Draw out your hacksaw Lord God and swing it wide that You
may saw away their past releasing each of them from it in order to keep them
moving forward. Place each of them on the path to healing as they look deep
into Your word Lord God and find promises worth having faith in, guidance,
direction, and companionship instead of empty words and rules just waiting to
be broken.
Show them how each are loved by You Lord God and may they
see the worth in themselves that you see. A strong worth to treasure, a value
to die for, and a wealth to bank on for all eternity, all from you Lord
God. Thank you Lord for this love, thank
you for this path to eternal peace and happiness in You.
Prepare for them their homes in heaven; prepare on earth
their hearts eternal to receive Your blessings of healing, restoration, and
worth.
I believe in Your promise Lord that You do not want any to
perish. That You will prepare for them a situation that will bring them to the
cross seeking the only thing capable of filling the void in their lives, You
Lord Jesus. Keep them safe on their journey as I patiently wait at the foot of
the cross for the lost sheep finally found.
Praise you Lord for the hope and reassurance of knowing You
are capable of taking us from “Fired Friend” to “Finally Found.” I love you. I
love my granddaughter. Thank you Lord for loving us both.
Amen (So be it)
