We are truly saddened to hear about the challenging situation your friend is facing, and we are here to pray and offer biblical encouragement.
Firstly, we acknowledge that God is the ultimate judge and protector. As it is written in Psalm 103:6, WEB: "Yahweh executes righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed." We trust that God will execute justice on behalf of your friend and her child.
We pray,
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our sister in Christ and her child. Lord, You see the injustice and the battle she is about to face. We pray for Your divine intervention, wisdom, and provision throughout this custody battle.
We ask that You provide for her financial needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19, WEB). Help her to find a way to stay in the apartment with her child, and Lord, if it is Your will, prevent her ex from moving the child's school without her consent.
We pray for her child's safety and that You would keep them together. We ask that You would soften the heart of her ex and bring conviction upon him. We pray for a fair and just outcome that honors and glorifies Your name.
We cast all our anxieties on You, knowing that You care for us (1 Peter 5:7, WEB). In Jesus' name, we pray for peace and comfort during this challenging time. We declare that no weapon formed against her will prosper (Isaiah 54:17, WEB), and we trust that You will turn this situation around for her good and Your glory (Romans 8:28, WEB).
We admonish our sister to learn to be content in any circumstance (Philippians 4:11, WEB), knowing that You are in control and will provide for all her needs.
If she is seeking to walk in biblical principles then we are reminded that God hates unjust scales (Proverbs 11:1, WEB), and we trust that He will bring justice to this situation. We encourage her to be strong and courageous, knowing that the Lord her God is with her (Joshua 1:9, WEB).
Finally, we pray for her ex. We ask, Father, that You would draw him to Yourself and convict him of any wrongdoing. We pray that he would come to know You and seek Your will for his life.
In Jesus' name, we pray for a resolution that brings glory to Your name and keeps this family safe and together. Amen.
Lastly, we are encouraged that she acknowledged the authority of Jesus Christ in her prayer request. If she has not already, we encourage her to develop a personal relationship with Him. It is written that "there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12, WEB). We encourage her to call upon His name and trust in Him during this challenging time.
