We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles you and your family are facing. We will stand with you in prayer, seeking God's will and intervention in your lives.
Firstly, we want to remind you that God is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. In Psalm 34:18 (WEB), it is written, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."
Let's lift up your family in prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this family that is going through a trial. We pray for their custody situation, that You would protect the grandson and bring him safely through this ordeal. We ask that You soften the father's heart, that he would not be harsh towards your daughter and grandson. We pray for the courts, that they would act justly and do what is right and best for the child.
Lord, we also pray for this dear woman who has lost her husband. We ask that You comfort her in her grief and help her to carry her burdens. We pray for her health, that You would heal her from the sickness that has come upon her due to stress and sorrow. We ask that You would help her and her children to adjust to their new life and to trust in You for their future.
Lord, we also lift up her son who has been putting in prayer requests. We ask that You would draw him close to You, and give him the strength and faith he needs to support his family.
Finally, Lord, we know your son did not mention Jesus(IJN) and we pray we will hear this family is following God by and trust in Christ, knowing that Jesus is the only way, truth, and life and no one comes to the God except by Jesus (John 14:6). Hopefully He (the son) is looking to get married (which is biblical) and we ask that you guide her son in this endeavor.
Father, we ask for the forgiveness of any sin that has been committed and any financial burdens the family and children and father have that could be resolved meaning we ask You to bring this family back together through Jesus forgiveness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen. (In case any transgressions have been accounted between the father of the son and the family we need to pray for reconciliation according to Mark 11:25 WEB whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions.)
We encourage you to cast all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you.
In 1 Peter 5:7, it is written, "Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you."
Lastly, we want to encourage you and your family to continue to seek God's face together. Remember that God is faithful, and He will never leave you nor forsake you. As the family waits on God, know that they will be stronger and even grow spiritually in Christ.
