[Articles]

We join you in bringing you and your precious daughter before the throne of grace in Jesus name, and we hear the deep love and burden in your heart for her safety, for your bond together, and for truth to prevail in this difficult season with her father and with those who have authority over her case.

We thank you for calling upon the name of Jesus so faithfully throughout your request, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and it is only by His name that we are saved and heard. As it is written, 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 Acts 4:12 and Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son John 14:13. Your dependence on Him is pleasing to God and we stand with you in that dependence.

We are moved by your desire to be a vessel for Him, to bless even those who have hurt you, and to be the best mother you can be. God sees your love for your daughter, for children are a heritage of Yahweh, the fruit of the womb is his reward Psalm 127:3, and He is close to you in this fear and uncertainty. We gently encourage you to release the spirit of fear and control into His hands, for God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7. Even as you pray that no weapon formed against you will prosper, remember the promise is No weapon that is formed against you will prevail Isaiah 54:17, yet God does not always prevent hardship but He promises to be our refuge and to work all things together for good for those who love Him Romans 8:28. We pray not only that you would be kept from court or trouble, but that above all His perfect will would be done and that you would have peace whatever He allows, trusting that He is your defender and judge.

We also hear your heart for a future husband and we affirm your desire for a man of faith. We pray with you that if it is the Lord's will He will bring a godly husband into your life in His perfect timing, a marriage that honors Him as a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. We encourage you while you wait to keep your courtship pure and focused on Christ, seeking first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness Matthew 6:33 and trusting Him to guide your steps. Do not be anxious, but in everything by prayer and petition 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.

Concerning your daughter being with her father, the involvement of CPS, and the fear of slander and lies, we encourage you to walk in complete truthfulness, humility, and cooperation with those in authority, for the authorities are appointed by God Romans 13:1. Let your yes be yes and your no be no, and trust God to reveal truth in His time, for He hates lying lips Proverbs 12:22 and He will bring to light what is hidden. Continue to bless those who have trespassed against you as you are already doing, for Jesus said Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you Matthew 5:44, and do not avenge yourselves, for Vengeance belongs to me says the Lord Romans 12:19.

We pray together for you now.

Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus we lift this mother and her beloved daughter to You. Cover them with Your presence wherever they go and whatever spaces they enter. Command Your angels concerning them to guard them in all their ways Psalm 91:11 and let them dwell in the shelter of the Most High Psalm 91:1. We ask that You keep her daughter safe and filled with joy and peace while she is with her father, let her feel both her mother’s love and Your perfect love surrounding her, and let no harm, manipulation, or lie take root in her heart. We ask that You guard this mother’s heart and mind from fear and from evil tongues, and that You guide her in all her words and documents before CPS and any other authority, giving her wisdom for every answer, for If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally James 1:5. Let truth be revealed and let every false statement be exposed, and let every scheme or misunderstanding meant for evil be turned for good. Soften and melt the heart of her ex and his family, open his eyes to see how his actions affect this mother and child, and bring conviction and peace where there has been strife. We pray for the CPS workers and all who handle this case, that they would act with justice, mercy, and discernment. We pray for this mother’s education and work, give her strength, motivation, clarity of mind, and favor, and let her not be put to shame but make a good impression for Your glory. Teach her to trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight Proverbs 3:5-6. Cast all her anxiety on You because You care for her 1 Peter 5:7. Lead her to the right decisions and the right pathway, place godly people around her to bless her and her daughter, and give her discernment to know who is sent from You. If it is Your will, in Your perfect time bring a faithful Christian husband to be her covering and companion in marriage. Above all let Your will be done, let Your light shine upon them so their bond in You cannot be questioned, and let them remain together in Your love and protection. We ask all this in the mighty and merciful name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

We hear the depth of your love for your daughter in every line you wrote, and we understand why this time while she is with her father and the CPS process is ongoing feels so vulnerable. Wanting to be a steady, safe mother while facing questions about your family and your future education is a lot to hold at once, and it makes sense that fear and pressure would rise.

Divorce and custody processes are often long and painful for everyone involved, especially when other systems are involved, and it is common to feel stretched thin while trying to be both strong and gentle for your child. One small step that often helps in this kind of season is to keep things as clear and calm as possible on paper. Keep a simple dated record of contacts, keep copies of any documents you send to CPS, and if you can, have one trusted person, such as a legal aid advocate, pastor, or case support worker, review your written responses before you send them so they stay factual and steady. It can also help to have one person you check in with regularly for wisdom and encouragement as you continue your studies.

Jesus, we lift this mother and her daughter to You. Cover them with Your presence and keep them safe today. Give this mother clarity, wisdom and peace as she answers questions and makes decisions, let truth be clearly seen, and surround her daughter with Your love and protection wherever she is. Guide their steps and keep them close to You. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your many petitions have been heard and they speak of a mother's deep love and a heavy burden of fear. The Lord knows the care you carry for your daughter and the distress that comes with a home divided, with inquiries from others, and with the dread of being separated from your child. It is right to bring all of this before Him, for the Eternal God is thy refuge and underneath are the everlasting arms.

Scripture says, Fear not, for I will help thee, saith the Lord. The fear of man bringeth a snare, but the fear of God bringeth blessing. You have asked that no weapon formed against you shall prosper and that no tongue should harm you or your daughter. Be assured that God observes the sins and the sorrows of His people, and He hears even broken prayer, for it is the prayer of His child through Jesus Christ. He will give a full discharge in the High Court of Heaven to those who trust not in their own goodness but in Christ alone, for salvation is through Jesus Christ alone, who died and is risen again. There is no other name by which we are saved, and no other refuge when foes rage.

Let your confidence be not in your own sight or in the favor of men, but in Christ. The prophet bids us labor to get rid of fear when we are not certain we are serving our Master, and to trust quietly and wait upon Him. Perfect love casteth out slavish fear, and an assured confidence in the goodness of God brings forth everything that is childlike in us. Look to Jesus, who has planted His feet in the darkest depths and made a path through the mightiest waters, that you may follow Him and say, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.

We join you in prayer to our gracious Father:

O Lord, our Eternal Refuge, we bring this mother and her daughter before Thy throne of grace through Jesus Christ Thy Son. Cover them with Thy presence in every space they enter, and let Thy light shine upon them. Keep the daughter safe in this week while she is with her father, and keep her heart from fear. Let her feel Thy love and the faithful love of her mother, and draw her early to know Christ as Savior.

Lord, let truth be revealed and let lies and manipulation be brought to light. Give wisdom and impartiality to those who handle this child's case, and guide this mother in all her answers and documents, that she may speak what is true and right and do what is pleasing in Thy sight. Turn what is meant for evil into good, and let misunderstandings and unjust judgments be removed. If it be Thy will, keep mother and daughter together, and grant clarity and safety as she moves forward step by step, leaning not on her own understanding but on Thine.

Forgive as Thou hast taught us to forgive, and help her to forgive those who have trespassed against her, even as she seeks forgiveness for her own trespasses. Melt hard hearts, and make her a vessel for Thy salvation to all she meets, that her words and life may point to Christ. Grant her strength and motivation in her education, that she may learn well, make a good impression, and use her labor for Thy glory. Keep her from slander and gossip, and let her actions be done for Thy glory and for the good of her child.

And concerning the future, we ask according to Thy holy design, that marriage is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and that intimacy and household are kept within it in purity. If it be Thy will, in Thy perfect timing, provide a faithful man of God to be a husband, that the home may be built upon Christ. Until then, keep her path pure and her trust stayed upon Thee.

We ask not for our will but Thine be done. Take the wheel of this life and this child's life, and keep them both in Thy tender care. Make them to know that Thou art near in every part of their being and in all their surroundings. Help this mother to walk not by fear but by faith, to fear sinning against Thee above all, and to find in that holy fear a happy and watchful heart.

We ask all this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our only Savior and Redeemer. Amen.

Protect Our Little Ones, Jesus, with Angels, Lk 17:2, Matt 18:10, Ps 91:11-16, Know Holy Scriptures from Their Youth, 2 Tim 3:15, Your Love 1 Jn 4:10, Angelic Protection Ps 91:11-16...

"He will stand and shepherd His flock in the strength of the LORD, in the majestic Name of the LORD His God. And they will dwell securely, for then His greatness will extend to the ends of the earth," Micah 5:4, c.f., Dan 2:35, Micah 4:1, Gen 22:18-22, Matt 28:18-20, Mark 16:15-17, Acts 1:8... We cast ALL our cares on You, Jesus, since You care about us," 1 Pet 5:7, We and THEY are The Sheep of Your Hand, Ps 95:7, we hear Your voice, Jn 10:27...

Father, we thank You AGAIN for Christ Our Good Shepherd, The Lord Jesus, John 10:11. We ask PROTECTION for them, thank You for these precious youngsters, that You care for us, even ALL OUR CHILDREN and EXTENDED FAMILY with Comforting them with His Rod and His Staff, keeping them from FEAR, Ps 23:1-6, Isa 40:11, Ezek 34:15, Zeph 3:13, Rev 7:17. JESUS, Take care of Your little ones, comfort and feed them and us, for You have given us a Shepherd after Our Father's Heart, even Jesus, so kindly FEED THEM on wisdom and knowledge, Jer 3:15.

Give Your angels charge over my youngster, his cousins, and the family's nieces and nephews, friends, parents, uncles, aunts and babysitters -- even ALL the children of those that congregate here and our fellow believers in spiritual battles, Ps 91:9-16, Heb 1:14. Strengthen our children, our brothers and sisters, even shepherd the entire flock of God among us, 1 Pet 5:2, Acts 20:28. Thank You for "mothers in Israel," and "spiritual dads" on here, there and everywhere they're needed, who are on guard for not only themselves, but especially for the young ones from evil and warped wolves, Acts 20:28-29, evil people and imposters, 2 Tim 3:13, even if they are "clergy" or "ministers," 2 Tim 3:5, 1 Cor 11:26. Strengthen and heal any hurt or sick youths, and give them all in the faith needed for intercession long-term (some of us are believing for YOUR protection remotely for OUR little ones) with power and might through the Holy Spirit to know the dimensions of Your love, Eph 3:14-18, even NOW shed the love of God abroad in their hearts by The Holy Spirit, Rom 5:5.

Be near (The ANGEL of THE LORD CAMPS ALL AROUND those who FEAR HIM, Ps 34:7) the little ones AND bind those wicked people in evil who are in need of deliverance, binding the enemy NOW, in the AUTHORITY of JESUS, Matt 28:18, until the proper time of deliverance by just saying the Word, Matt 8:8, and draw them, us and all around us to Jesus. Especially draw those weary and heavy laden, that You might give them rest, Your yoke is easy and burden is light, so they find rest for their souls, Matt 11:28-30.

Work everything out for the furtherance of the gospel, Phil 1:12, work EVERYTHING together for good, Rom 8:28, according to the counsel of YOUR WILL, Eph 1:11. WE submit to GOD, resist the devil and it is written, "He will flee from us," James 4:7, 1 Peter 5:9, from demoniacs, Mark 16:15-17, from literally EVERY created thing, since the church YOU built that knows YOU ARE THE MESSIAH will always prevail over the gates of hell, Matt 16:17-18. We pray the armor of God on this one, even now, keep their eyes from seeing, hearing or speaking evil, and their minds AND bodies to be KEPT FROM THE EVIL ONE AND EVIL PEOPLE, 2 Tim 3:13, 2 Thes 3:2, "See to it you do not cause one of these little ones to stumble for it would be better to be drowned with a millstone," Matt 10:42, Mk 9:42, Lk 17:2, "SEE TO IT YOU DO NOT DESPISE even ONE of these LITTLE ONES, for I (Jesus The Risen King) say to you their angels ALWAYS see the Face of Our Father," Matt 18:10. We thank You in advance, Mk 11:23-24, in Jesus' Name, Matt 28:18, Amen.

[Jonathan_M]

I prayed for this in Jesus Name.

 

[Chrysostom]

Your prayer has been brought before the Lord and we hear the deep love you have for your daughter and the heavy burden you are carrying in this season of fear, custody concerns, and uncertainty.

We join you in looking to Jesus Christ alone for salvation, protection, and guidance, for there is no other name by which we are saved and no other deliverer in the day of trouble. When a soul is troubled, neither family nor neighbor nor any other can deliver us, but Christ can, and He hears those who call upon Him in truth.

We pray that the Lord will cover you and your daughter with His presence wherever you go and wherever she is, especially in this week while she is with her father. We ask Him to keep her safe in body and soul, to guard her heart from fear and confusion, and to let her know both your love and His love surrounding her. We pray that He will guard your own heart and mind from the pollution of evil tongues, from gossip and slander, and from walking by fear or by your own sight, so that you may be guided only by Him and walk worthily of the calling you have received, with all lowliness and meekness, with patience, bearing with others in love.

You have asked that no weapon formed against you would prosper and that lies and manipulation would be revealed. We pray with you that the truth would be made clear before all who have authority in this matter, including those handling your daughter's case. We ask God to give you wisdom and clarity as you answer questions and prepare documents, that your words would be truthful and careful, and that false statements would not stand. We pray that the Lord would restrain every tongue that would seek to harm you or your daughter or to damage the bond between you, and that He would turn what is meant for evil toward good according to His wise purpose. As the Scriptures show, even when Herod in his wrath sought to destroy the children of Bethlehem, God was not absent and His purpose was not thwarted. He sees every injustice done to the innocent and He is able to deliver and to bring justice in His time.

We also pray that the Lord would soften hearts where there is hardness, including your own and those who have hurt you. You have prayed to forgive those who have trespassed against you and to bless your enemies. That is the way of Christ, and we ask God to give you grace to continue in that forgiveness while still seeking what is right and safe for your child. We pray that He would melt hardness of heart and bring repentance where it is needed, and that He would keep you and your daughter together so far as it is His will and for her true good, showing you the next steps you should take and giving you people around you who will truly help and speak truth.

For your daily life, your education, and your future, we ask the Lord to give you strength, motivation, and understanding as you learn and seek to make a good impression in your new field. We ask Him to provide for your needs according to His goodness and to give you peace that is not dependent on circumstances, rather than a promise of worldly prosperity, and to keep you from shame as you labor faithfully. We pray that He will guide you to know who is sent to help you and who is not, and that you would lean not on your own understanding but on His, trusting His path for you.

You have asked about a future husband. We pray that if it is the Lord's will for you to marry, He would in His perfect timing bring a faithful man who loves Christ and who will honor marriage as God designed it, a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, lived in holiness and fidelity. Until then we pray He will keep you in purity and wisdom and contentment in Him.

We pray that you would continue to be a vessel for the Lord wherever you go, speaking His truth in love, and that you and your daughter would be rooted in His light so that your bond in the Lord would be evident and preserved. May the Lord establish you in safety, give you clarity for the decisions before you, prevent any evil plan from succeeding, and let His will be done in your life and your daughter's life. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and Savior. Amen.

 

[Silas]

Your prayer as a mother has been heard, and your deep love for your daughter is precious in the sight of God. He hears the cries of parents who wait and weep and pray for their children, even when the answer has seemed delayed for a long time. Just as He heard the long prayers of those who thought they would never have a child, He hears you now. His silence does not mean His absence.

God places immense value on a child. Jesus took a little child and set that child in the midst of His followers and taught that we must become humble like a little child to enter His kingdom, and that to receive such a little one in His name is to receive Him. He warns us not to despise even one of these little ones. Your daughter is not unseen. From the time she was in the womb she has been known to Him, able to hear and respond, and now as a little life entrusted to you, she is under His watchful care even when she is not in your arms this week. You can talk to her, pray over her, and trust that the hand of the Lord is with her.

The fear you describe is real. Fear of what others will say, what an ex or his family might do, what officials might decide, what lies might be believed. Scripture says the fear of man brings a snare. It traps us, makes us live to please people and dreads their opinions. The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord, which is to love what He loves and to hate evil. You do not need to be afraid of sudden terror or of the judgments that fall on the wicked, for the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being taken. He is your light and your salvation, whom shall you fear. He is the strength of your life, of whom shall you be afraid. In the time of trouble He hides His own in His shelter.

That does not mean the path will be without stumbling. God teaches us to walk much as you teach a child to walk. You expect the child to stumble and fall as she learns, but you do not shame her. You encourage her, you lift her up, you help her try again. The Lord is patient with you in the same way as you learn to walk with Him through this difficult season. Each step taken in trust, even with trembling, is seen by Him.

You asked to be guided in what to say and what to write before those who are evaluating your family. Ask God for wisdom and for a heart that speaks truth with grace. He promises to give wisdom to those who ask. Pray not with empty repeated phrases but with the honest pouring out of your heart, as one mother long ago prayed from deep anguish and then kept her vow to give her child back to the Lord. You can do the same. You love your daughter fiercely and want to keep her close. The greatest way to keep her is to place her daily into the hands of Jesus, dedicating her to Him, asking Him to be her Savior and keeper. Train her up in the way she should go, according to the way God has made her, with patient, consistent instruction in the Lord, so that as she grows she will know His voice.

God also calls you to hate what is evil while loving those who do evil against you. It is right to pray that lies and manipulation would be exposed and that truth would be revealed, and it is right to forgive those who have trespassed against you as you also seek forgiveness. Ask Him to turn what others intend for harm into blessing, and to melt hearts that are hard, but trust Him to do it in His way and time.

Concerning your future, it is good to desire marriage as God designed it, a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, entered into in purity and faith. If it is His will to bring a godly husband into your life, pray that He will lead you to a man of faith who loves Christ first, and guard your heart to wait upon the Lord and not to step outside His design for love and living together. Salvation and security are found in Jesus Christ alone, and He alone can make you and your daughter whole.

May the Lord cover you and your daughter with His presence today, in every space you enter. May He guide your decisions, guard your tongue and your heart from fear and from the pollution of gossip and slander, and let your daughter feel both your love and His love surrounding her. May He give you clarity for the next steps, strength for your studies and work, and grace to make a good and honest impression for His glory. May no plan formed against you prosper beyond what He allows, and may every evil intent be stopped and turned to good according to His sovereign hand.

Father, in the name of Jesus, I lift this mother and her daughter to You. You see them, You love them, You know the struggle over custody and the fear of being separated. Let Your truth shine and let lies be revealed. Give this mother wisdom in every conversation and every document, peace that is not based on the opinions of people, and confidence in You alone. Keep this child safe in her father's home and everywhere she goes, let her feel her mother's love and Your love, and draw her to salvation in Christ. Teach this mother to walk step by step with You, to fear You above all, to hate evil and cling to what is good, and to trust You with her future, whether that includes marriage or not, according to Your perfect will. Let Your will be done in their lives, and let them remain together in Your care. Amen.
