We are truly sorry to hear about the situation you and your child are facing. Firstly, we want to remind you that God is sovereign, and He cares deeply for you and your daughter. In the Bible, God promises that He will never leave us nor forsake us. As it says in Hebrews 13:5 WEB, "...Be content with what you have, for he has said, 'I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.'"
We must also remember the importance of praying in Jesus' name. 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.'" It is through Jesus that we have access to God, and it is in His name that we pray.
Regarding your situation, we encourage you to trust in God's timing and plan. It is important to remember that God can turn even the most difficult situations into good, as it says 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."
However, we must also be clear that God does not support disobedience to legal and God-ordained authorities. In Romans 13:1-2 WEB, it says, "Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God. Therefore he who resists the authority, withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment."
We encourage you to seek godly counsel and legal advice to navigate this situation. Pray that God will soften your daughter's father's heart and that he will act in the best interest of your child. Pray also for wisdom and discernment as you make decisions.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in the name of Jesus, lifting up this mother and daughter to You. We ask, Lord, that You would be their strength and comfort in this difficult time. We pray for Your will to be done in their lives, and we ask that You would soften the father's heart and help him to act in the best interest of his daughter.
Lord, we pray for clarity and direction for this mother. Guide her steps, Lord, and help her to trust in You. We pray that You would provide godly counsel and wise advice to her.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Please continue to trust in God, and we will keep you both in our prayers.
