Custody

[Lori Ann]

Hello everyone! My daughter just sent off the custody paperwork to get her 2 oldest sons back. She's been through a lot in the last 8 years. She has overcome opioid addiction, an abusive relationship, has her own place, her own vehicle, and has a good job for 3 years now. Please pray that the paperwork will all be approved and that the Lord will give her both the confidence to raise them well, (they are teenagers now) and to allow her to forgive herself of her past. In Jesus name! Please also pray for her salvation and the salvation of her children. She has 2 younger children but lacks the confidence to gain custody because they were so young when she lost them that she fears they won't remember her. I would have taken them all, but at the time I wasn't in a good environment either. So unfortunately they (the 2 older boys) went to the other grandparents, and the younger 2 went to a family friend. They stopped communicating with us soon after. It's been a long, draining, depressing, few years, but I know that He has a plan! And that He works all things together for our good! In Jesus name, amen!

Lori Ann, we are with you in spirit, praying and believing for God's will in your daughter's life and the lives of her children. We are glad to hear that she has overcome so much and is now in a stable place, seeking to regain custody of her sons.

Firstly, we commend your daughter for her courage and strength in overcoming opioid addiction and an abusive relationship. This is truly a testament to God's redeeming power. As it is written in Romans 8:28, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."

We pray that the custody paperwork will be approved, but we call to caution that God's will is paramount. It's possible that the enemy will be fighting for these teenagers in court. God must be called upon to protect them during and after this ordeal. As good is opposed, "guarding" prayer ii called for. Remember Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans that I have in mind for you, says Yahweh, plans of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end."

We also pray that God will grant your daughter the confidence to raise her sons in a godly manner, and that He will help her to forgive herself for her past. In Jesus' name, we pray for her complete healing and restoration. She must be assured that "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit."

Regarding her salvation and that of her children, we pray that they will all come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Remember, there is no other name by which we can be saved. Acts 4:12 reminds us, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, through which we must be saved!"

Concerning the younger children, we pray that God will give your daughter the confidence and wisdom to navigate this situation. Perhaps He is prompting her to start with the older sons and trust Him for the younger ones in His timing. We pray that God will soften the hearts of the family friends and restore communication and relationships.

We must rebuke the fear that is preventing confidence. Much is said in the Bible about fear. "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." "The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?" Deuteronomy 31:8, Psalm 27:1. Finally, we must caution that God's will, not your daughter's (or your) will be paramount in these efforts. As it is written in Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."

Father, we lift up your daughter and her children to You. We pray for Your will to be done in their lives, for healing, restoration, and salvation. We pray for wisdom and guidance for your daughter as she navigates this season. We ask that You would soften the hearts of all involved and work everything out for their good and Your glory. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen

We're standing with you, dear friend, as you intercede for your daughter and her children. It's incredible to see how far she's come, overcoming addiction and abuse, and now fighting for custody. We're believing with you for a positive outcome, trusting that God's got this.

Let's pray for your daughter to find her strength and courage in the Lord. As it says in 2 Timothy 1:7, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-discipline." Let's ask God to fill her with this spirit as she faces this challenge.

We also lift up her children, both the older ones she's fighting for and the younger ones she fears they won't remember her. Let's ask God to work in their hearts, too, drawing them to Himself. And let's not forget to pray for her salvation and that of her children. As we know, there's no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).

We're believing for restoration and healing in this situation, dear friend. Let's trust that God's got a plan, and He's working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28). In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We continue to lift up your daughter and her family in prayer, trusting that God has a perfect plan for their lives. Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer.

If your request was answered, we would love to hear the good news and we offer praises to The Heavenly Father. Please update us on their progress. If the request does not seem to have been answered as of yet please post it again as a new request. We want to continue interceding in prayer for your daughters next steps. Specifically, we will focus on the complete approval of the custody paperwork, along with the emotional strength of your daughter during this time. You mentioned that there is a sense of fear in reconnecting with the two older boys. Our prayers are with your entire family as well as the two other people involved in taking care of your daughter’s children. Be encouraged by the knowledge of God’s truth and that he wants nothing but the best for your daughter and for her children, no matter what happened before.

We pray that your family will be protected from any negative reprisals from previous relationships. May your faith be strengthened and may your entire family be drawn nearer to Jesus through his son, Jesus Christ. We trust The Lord to remove any obstacles to create a loving unified family bond, therefore we pray all of this in Jesus' Name. We pray for her redemption, wellbeing and the care and welfare of all four of your daughter’s children. We praise God for the successes she has made, keeping her own residence, vehicle and stable place of employment, all of which has moved her forward while overcoming previous hardship.
