When Jesus was speaking to the disciples in John 15, he was telling them how to bear much fruit, how to pray, and what would bring glory to the Father. The key to bearing much fruit is to remain and abide in the Father. However, we may ask how we do remain in the Father? We remain in Him by staying and lingering in his Word, listening and waiting on what He has to say to us.
God created us for His glory. Our mission in life is to pursue Him and remain in Him. Then God’s desires will be our desires, we can ask whatever we wish and it will be answered. However, it may not be answered in our way or our timing but He will answer because it is His desire.
God may use those struggling difficult times in the lives of our grandchildren to answer our prayers in His way and in His timing. If you have estranged children and grandchildren, remain in God’s Word, asking God to give you peace as you wait for Him to answer your prayer.
God’s promises always have conditions so when we as grandparents remain in God’s Word, we will bear much fruit. Our grandchildren live in a time of spiritual decay. Let’s do our part in restoring the spiritual life in our country by vigilantly praying for our grandchildren. Then we will be profoundly effective in bringing glory to the Father.
Prayer:
