Disciple of Prayer
Dear Friends, I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out to ask for your prayers during a very challenging time in my life. I’ve been going through a difficult divorce that has been dragging on for over a year now. My child has been caught in the middle of this, and it’s been incredibly hard on both of us. There have been many setbacks—my ex has been delaying the process, hasn’t paid the mortgage for several months, and hasn’t done anything to help prepare our home for sale. The house is now at risk of foreclosure, which has affected my finances and credit. In addition to these struggles, my ex pulled our child out of preschool and kept them out of school for several weeks, missing important days at the start of kindergarten. This has caused a lot of instability and confusion for my little one. Recently, my ex also had another child, and though I had no idea this was happening, it has only added to the uncertainty. My ex refuses to share basic information with me, including where they are living, and has now stopped allowing my child to call me when they’re together. Despite all of this, I’ve been blessed to find a new place to live and to enroll my child in a new school. I’ve also hired a forensic psychologist to help with my case, as I’m seeking to secure majority custody to provide my child with more stability. My attorney and the psychologist both agree that this is in my child’s best interest, and we’re working on filing an emergency motion for a parenting plan. However, the financial burden is overwhelming. I need to cover a $7,500 trial retainer and pay the psychologist’s fee of $5,000. While I can manage the psychologist’s fee, the retainer has been hard to come by, especially with the rising costs of everything and the financial strain caused by my ex’s decisions. I’m asking for your prayers—for strength, wisdom, peace, financial blessing, and that God's will be done during this difficult time. Please pray for my child, that she may find comfort and stability despite all the transitions she's been facing. Pray that we can move forward with the legal process swiftly and that we can secure the resources we need to cover the trial costs. Most of all, please pray that we find resolution soon, for the sake of my child’s well-being and our family’s future. Thank you so much for your support and for keeping us in your prayers. It means the world to me to have such a strong and loving community to lean on. With gratitude, A Friend in Need
