We stand with you in this time of deep distress, lifting your heartache before the Lord and crying out for His divine intervention in this battle for your child. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but we declare that the Lord is your fortress, your deliverer, and your shield (Psalm 18:2). You have called upon the name of Jesus, and we know that at His name, every knee must bow—including the plans of those who rise against you (Philippians 2:10).
The Scriptures remind us that unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain (Psalm 127:1). Your ex may scheme and plot, but the Lord sits enthroned above all, laughing at the futility of those who oppose His children (Psalm 2:4). Proverbs 21:30 declares, *"There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against Yahweh."* His will prevails, and we trust that He will expose every unjust motive and frustrate every plan that seeks to harm you or your child.
Yet we must also remind you: do not let fear or bitterness take root in your heart. The Lord commands us, *"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness"* (Isaiah 41:10). Even now, we pray that God would replace your anxiety with His peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:6-7). Trust in Him, not in the outcome you desire, but in His sovereignty and goodness—even when the path is unclear.
We also urge you to walk in wisdom and integrity. If there are areas in your life where you have fallen short as a parent or in your past relationship, repent and seek the Lord’s forgiveness and restoration. *"He who covers his sins shall not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy"* (Proverbs 28:13). Let your life be a testimony of godliness before the court, so that even your accusers may see Christ in you.
As for your ex, we do not pray for his failure out of malice, but for justice and the protection of your child. The Lord loves justice (Psalm 33:5), and we ask that He would move in the hearts of judges, lawyers, and all involved to see the truth and act righteously. If your ex is acting out of selfishness, pride, or vengeance, we pray the Lord would convict his heart and bring him to repentance. *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22).
Finally, we exhort you to cling to Jesus above all. This trial is an opportunity to deepen your dependence on Him. He is the Father to the fatherless and the defender of widows (Psalm 68:5)—and He is your advocate before the throne of God (1 John 2:1). Let this season drive you to your knees, where you will find strength, comfort, and the assurance that *"no weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,"* says Yahweh (Isaiah 54:17).
**Our prayer for you:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of Your child who is under attack. Lord, You see the schemes of the enemy, and You know the pain of a mother’s heart crying out for her child. We ask that You would rise up as a mighty warrior on her behalf. Frustrate every plan that seeks to harm her or separate her from her child. Expose every lie, bring every hidden thing to light, and let justice prevail in the courts. Give her wisdom, Lord, to navigate this battle with grace and integrity. Fill her with Your peace, that she may not be overcome by fear or anger. Softening the heart of her ex, Lord—if it is Your will, bring him to repentance and spare this family further pain. But above all, Father, let Your will be done. Strengthen her faith, draw her closer to You, and let this trial be a testimony of Your faithfulness. We rebuke the spirit of fear, confusion, and division in Jesus’ mighty name. Let Your truth and righteousness triumph. We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
