Dear Lillian,

I had first contacted you a while back to start a local prayer group. Even though I do not have a form group, the Lord has been faithful in bring seasoned godly grandparents around me to gleen wisdom from. By His grace and provision, I hope to soon have a formal grandparents group. You have no idea how this particular article has blessed my heart regarding lost sheep. Also, I can hardly wait to purchase the book,'My Grandmother is Praying for Me'. By God's grace, I now have 2 granddaughters and by the end of this year I will have 2 more grandbabies.

Ten plus years ago, I was 37 years old when I surrendered my heart to the Lord. Before I came to the saving knowledge of Grace, the woman at the well in John 4 reflected who I was. In addition, I have 3 children who were raised in an environment I created by searching for love in the wrong places and trying to do what I thought was right in my own eyes. Needless to say this had a negative impact on the next generation. My children began adulthood heading down a similar destructive path as I had been on. However, I claimed the promise in Acts 2:38-39 'repent... be baptized and receive the Holy Spirit...the promise is for you and your children and those who are far off...' The following is a taste of how the Lord is faithful in keeping this promise:

My youngest daughter became involved in sexual sin with an older man. She became pregnant with my first granddbaby. This man didn't want anything to do with her or the baby. This broke my daughters heart and by God's grace, she sought the Lord. That was 5 plus years ago. Today, she is a new pastor's wife and expecting another baby. My son had picked a fight with a man and went to jail for assault several years ago. Again, by God's grace, my son was brought to the end of himself and he surrendered his heart to the Lord. My son is now a married man busy providing for his wife (no babies, yet). My oldest daughter after leaving the army became involved with a young man who was drug addicted. She became pregnant with my 2nd grandbaby. Her fiance and the baby's father took an overdose and died two months ago. She is now pregnant with his second child. She is not walking with the Lord; but, her heart is very tender towards Him and know in His time she too will surrender her heart. Even through the most difficult of all of this, the Lord is showing Himself faithful. I know that He will work all these things for the good because I am called according to His purpose and love Him (Romans 8:28 paraphrased). Please know that the Lord has deeply impressed on me the priviledged responsibility of interceding in prayer and teaching my grandbabies His word.

On top of all this, the Lord has brought into my life several young (teenage) mothers. I didn't want to interfere with what the Lord is trying to do in their lives. However, I know there is a reason why He has brought them into my life. The article on the lost sheep and the Lord's heart for children is further confirmation that He wants me to minister to these young mothers and babies.

Thank you for letting me share. I pray the Lord will continue to inspire you as well.

By His Grace!

This is an all too familiar story. My soon to be ex-daughter-in-law has created what I feel an unhealthy environment as well, by looking for love the wrong places and doing what she thinks is right in her own eyes. This has destroyed her marriage and she does not realize the impact it is having on her 5 children, 2 of which are my natural grandchildren. I continue to pray for her and I will pray all of those children out of Satan's grasp! I love the book "My Grandmother is Praying for Me". Thank you for your story, it gives me added hope for my prayers. I am happy to hear that you have found and accepted God's Grace!

Thank you for your comments. Tanya I hope you can get your Grandparents@Prayer started soon. It is a blessings to unite in prayer with other grandparents.

I have 2 wonderful grandaughters, one is 11 moths old the other is out of wed lock and is now 11 yrs old.
She now has a sister and stepdad and seems to be having a hard time.I pray for her every day, she likes getting good grates. She alway liked school, this year she is in a new school and seems to be having hard time, she won't say whats bothering her. I really would like to get this book. I pray that the Lord will provide for it. I live very far from my grandaughter. I pray that the Lord will have many Blessing for her and her little sister. My daughter is a wonderful mom.I also have a son which strugles with anger and anxiety, he has his own bussiness. He gets a lot of stress,he lives with a young wonderful girl.I pray everyday for him too. I have a husband that is a christian, he has good days and bad days he is on medication, and some days wakes up like a different person. Its hard to deal with but, I trust the lord for all his mercy. May God Bless!
