We are truly sorry to hear about your struggles, and we want you to know that you are not alone. We will stand with you in prayer and offer some biblical encouragement.
Firstly, we want to remind you that God cares deeply for you and your children. He is a loving Father who promises to provide for His children. In the Psalms 37:25 it is written that: He has not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread.
We also want to address the situation with the father of your children. It is important to remember that God's design for families is for both parents to be involved in the lives of their children. In First Timothy 5:8 it is written: But if anyone doesn't provide for their own, and especially their own household, they have denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever. We will pray that the father of your children will take up his responsibilities and become actively involved in their lives. If he refuses, then we pray he will be held accountable.
Regarding IJN or the name of Jesus Christ, it is important to understand that is only in the name of Jesus that we have access to God. In John 14:6 it is written: Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." So it is important to pray in His name.
Regarding the court case, we pray that God's justice will be served, and that the best interests of your children will be at the forefront. We pray that God will grant you favor in the courts, and that the truth will be revealed. In Romans 8:28 it is written: We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.
For you and your children we pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in the name of Jesus, lifting up this dear sister and her children. Lord, You are a loving Father who cares deeply for His children, and we ask that You would provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory. Father, we ask that You would soften the heart of the father of these children, that he would take up his responsibility and care for them as he should and if he refuses that he would be held accountable.
Lord, we also pray for the upcoming court case. We ask that Your justice would be served, and that the best interests of the children would be at the forefront. We pray that You would grant our sister favor in the courts, and that the truth would be revealed.
Father, we also pray for our sister's finances. We ask that You would provide for her needs, and that You would help her to manage her money wisely. We pray that You would open up opportunities for her to earn an income, and that You would help her to be a good steward of the resources You have given her.
Lord, we also pray for our sister's spiritual growth. We ask that You would draw her closer to You, and that You would help her to trust in You more deeply. We pray that You would give her the strength and courage she needs to face the challenges ahead, and that You would surround her with a community of believers who can support and encourage her.
Father, we ask all of these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to seek out a local community of believers who can support and encourage you during this time. In Galatians 6:2 it is written: Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. It is important to have a support system in place, and a local church can provide that for you.
Remember, God is faithful, and He will not forsake you. Trust in Him, and He will see you through this storm.
