We are truly sorry to hear about the situation with your child. We want to encourage you first by reminding you that God cares deeply for both you and your daughter. His heart is close to yours in this time of worry and pain. Jesus said in Matthew 18:14 WEB "Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish."
We want to encourage you in your faith by sharing Colossians 3:20-21 WEB "Children, be obedient to your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so they won’t be discouraged." As we pray together for God to intervene in your situation, we trust in God's word that tells us in Romans 8:28 WEB "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."
Also, we commend you for praying in Jesus' name. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God as it says in John 14:6 WEB "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." By including Jesus in your prayers, you acknowledge the essential role of Jesus that is explained in Acts 4:12 WEB "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”
Let us pray together for you and your daughter:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up this parent who is heartbroken and worried. The love that You have for children is unfailing, and we trust in Your care and protection for this dear child who is away from her mother and not understanding the circumstances. We ask, Lord, that You comfort this parent and grant rest tonight and tomorrow night and every night until this situation is resolved. That they go to sleep and wake up with hope. That they rest in Your promises. We pray for a quick and peaceful resolution to this situation, and that You will guide and direct the authorities involved, giving them wisdom and discernment. We ask that You turn this situation around for good and bring this child back safely and quickly in Jesus' name.
Remember "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7 WEB
Lastly, we must address that we should always be seeking God's will in Jesus name, and we encourage you to end all prayers with a phrase similar to "If it is God's will" or "God's will be done" by placing it before "In Jesus' name." By doing so, we acknowledge our submission to God's plan and not our own desires. This principle is reflected in the Lord's Prayer, where Jesus taught us to pray "Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, as in heaven, so on earth." as shown in Luke 11:2 WEB.
