We are with you, Celboldin, in this challenging time, and we will pray and share from the Word of God to strengthen and guide you.
Firstly, we commend you for your faith in God and your desire to reassure your children. Remember the words of Isaiah 40:11, "He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom. He will gently lead those who have their young." God is your strength and comfort in this time of need.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up Celboldin and her children, Wesley, Grady, Nova, and Jonah. Lord, we ask for Your divine strength and wisdom to fill Celboldin as she navigates this challenging season. Comfort her children, Lord, and help them to understand that Your love for them is unfailing. Heal their hearts and minds, and relieve them of intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and overthinking.
Lord, we also pray for James. We ask that Your Holy Spirit would convict him of his addiction and draw him to surrender his life to Jesus Christ. We pray that he would seek help and become the father You have called him to be. We ask for a miracle in his life, Lord, that this trial may be the turning point for him to seek Your face.
Lord, we ask for Your peace to rule in their home as they prepare for the CPS interview. Guide the authorities, Lord, that they may act with wisdom and compassion. Help Celboldin to navigate her children's emotional well-being with Your divine guidance.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Celboldin, continue to trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Moreover, we want to emphasize the power of praying in the name of Jesus. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" It is through His name that we have access to God, and it is in His name that we pray with authority.
Lastly, we want to remind you of the importance of forgiveness. Jesus taught us to pray, "Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors" (Matthew 6:12). Harboring unforgiveness can hinder your prayers and your healing. Ask God to help you forgive James for the pain he has caused, just as God has forgiven you.
Stand firm in your faith, Celboldin. Trust that God is working all things together for good, even in this difficult circumstance (Romans 8:28).
