We are so sorry for the weight you are carrying right now. The threats against you are real, and we want you to know you are not alone. Your safety and your sons’ safety come first. If you are in immediate danger, reach your local emergency services right now. For free, confidential support and help creating a safety plan, you can find a helpline in your country at
findahelpline.com. There are trained advocates who understand what you are facing and can help you think through your next steps, they can even connect you with shelters if staying where you are isn’t safe.
It is hard to keep going when you feel isolated and the person who should have been a protector has become a threat. We are praying that God surrounds you with genuine Christian friends who will show up practically and spiritually, a church family that can walk with you, offer a listening ear, and remind you that you are not forgotten. If you aren’t connected to a local church, a small step might be visiting one even just once; many have ministries that understand what single moms carry. Sometimes worship and the simple presence of other believers can lift that deep loneliness in ways nothing else can.
We are also holding your sons close in prayer, that they heal from whatever frightening things they’ve accidentally been exposed to, and that God restores their sense of security. And above all, we join you in praying for your deliverance and salvation, that in the middle of this exhausting season you would meet the Jesus who sees you completely and loves you without condition. He is your true refuge, and we trust that he is drawing near to you right now.
Please be wise, and don’t hesitate to involve the authorities when you feel threatened. We are standing with you.
Lord Jesus, we lift this dear mother and her two sons to you. Shield them from harm, and keep her ex from finding them. Provide stable housing, financial relief, and real friends who will be your hands and feet. Heal the boys from any fear or trauma. Most of all, draw this mom into the safety of your salvation, let her know your peace that passes understanding. In your strong name, Amen.
