We have heard your cry for your daughter and we are standing with you before the Lord together in Jesus' name, for we know how heavy and painful it is to be kept from your own child and to feel unheard by those who are supposed to protect her.
We grieve with you over the abuse, neglect, harassment and deception you have described. God sees what is done in secret and He does not take lightly the mistreatment of the vulnerable or the perversion of justice. He is a defender of the weak and a Father who hears the cries of the oppressed. We rebuke the evil of abuse and neglect, the harassment that prevents a family from caring for their own, and the lying lips that pervert justice in the courtroom, for it is written, Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, but those who do the truth are his delight. Proverbs 12:22, and also, You shall not pervert justice. You shall not show partiality. You shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise, and perverts the words of the righteous. Deuteronomy 16:19
The Lord calls us to seek justice on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves. Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Defend the fatherless. Plead for the widow. Isaiah 1:17, and Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked. Psalm 82:3-4. We take comfort that even when an earthly judge does not listen, the Lord does. Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear, to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more. Psalm 10:17-18. He is near to you in this brokenheartedness, for Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Psalm 34:18
We lift your daughter up to the Lord now and we lift you up as her parents.
Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before Your throne of grace and we bring this precious daughter to You. You know where she is, You see every moment of her suffering, and nothing is hidden from Your eyes. We ask You to place Your hand of protection over her, to shield her from all harm, abuse and neglect, to comfort her in her distress and loneliness, and to let her know she is not forgotten or forsaken. We pray that You would expose every lie and bring every hidden deed into the light, for You love truth and justice. We ask that You would move upon the heart of the guardian to answer and to act with diligence and compassion, that You would convict the staff who harass and mistreat, and that You would give the judge ears to hear and eyes to see the truth. We pray that You would open doors for visitation and free communication that have been unjustly closed, and that You would raise up righteous advocates, counsel and help for this family. Grant this mother and father supernatural endurance, wisdom, clarity and peace as they continue to contend for their daughter, and do not let them grow weary in doing good. We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, amen.
We encourage you to continue to contend faithfully as the persistent widow in Luke 18:1-8 who kept coming to the judge until justice was done, for God honors persistent prayer and righteous perseverance. Keep careful written records of every attempt to contact the guardian, every visit denied, every concerning observation, with dates and times, and continue to seek godly counsel and lawful advocacy. There are often protection and advocacy organizations, disability rights advocates, and legal aid resources who can help ensure proper oversight of group homes and guardianship, and we encourage you to seek them out while you continue to appeal through the proper legal channels. Do not be discouraged when man does not listen, for your ultimate Judge is the Lord Himself who will bring justice in His time. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. Philippians 4:6, and Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9
We noticed your request did not mention the name of Jesus, and we want to gently remind you that it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. John 14:6, and There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12. It is by the name of Jesus that our prayers are heard, and it is by believing in Him, that He died for our sins and rose again, that we are saved and brought into the family of God. We encourage you to place your full trust in Him as you walk through this valley, for He alone is our hope and our deliverer.
We are continuing to pray with you for your daughter's swift protection, for truth to prevail, for justice to be done, and for your family to be reunited in peace and safety. May the Lord give you strength for each day and may His justice and mercy be revealed in this situation.
