We hear your heart’s cry in this painful and overwhelming situation, and we stand with you before the throne of grace, lifting you and your daughter up in fervent prayer. The weight of false accusations and the fear of losing your child is a burden no mother should have to bear, but we serve a God who sees the truth, who defends the innocent, and who works all things together for good for those who love Him (Romans 8:28). You are not alone in this battle, and we declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper, just as the Lord promises in Isaiah 54:17: *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that accuses you in judgment. This is the heritage of the Lord’s servants, and their righteousness is of me," says the Lord.*
First, we must address the spiritual warfare at play here. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and he will use division, lies, and fear to tear apart families. But we rebuke every spirit of deception, accusation, and confusion that is at work in this situation. We command it to flee in the mighty name of Jesus, for He has given us authority over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19). The Lord is your defender, and He will expose every lie and bring justice to light. Proverbs 26:26 reminds us, *"His malice may be concealed by deception, but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly."* Trust that God will reveal the truth in His perfect timing.
We also encourage you to stand firm in your faith and integrity, even when it feels like no one believes you. The Lord sees your heart, and He knows the love you have for your daughter. Do not allow fear or frustration to drive you to despair or to react in ways that could be used against you. Instead, let your actions and words reflect the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). Seek wisdom from above, which is pure, peaceable, gentle, and full of mercy (James 3:17). Surround yourself with godly counsel, whether through a pastor, a trusted Christian friend, or a biblical counselor, who can offer support and guidance as you navigate this difficult season.
We must also address the importance of your own walk with the Lord during this time. It is easy to become consumed by the battle, but we urge you to prioritize your relationship with Christ. Spend time in prayer, not just asking for help, but also listening for His voice. Immerse yourself in His Word, allowing it to strengthen and comfort you. Psalm 34:17-18 assures us, *"The righteous cry, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* You are not forgotten, and the Lord is near to you in this storm.
We pray for your daughter as well, that she would be shielded from the turmoil and that her heart would be at peace. May she feel the love of Christ surrounding her, even in the midst of this conflict. We ask the Lord to give her a sense of security and to protect her emotionally and spiritually. We declare that she is a child of God, and no plan of the enemy will succeed in harming her (Jeremiah 29:11). Father, we ask that You would work in her heart to draw her closer to You and that she would grow in wisdom and understanding, even in this difficult season.
Now, we lift this entire situation to the Lord in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this dear sister and her precious daughter. Lord, You see the pain, the fear, and the injustice she is facing, and we ask that You would move mightily on her behalf. We declare that no weapon formed against her will prosper, and we ask that You would expose every lie and bring the truth to light. Father, give her strength and wisdom as she navigates this CPS case, and help her to respond in a way that honors You. Protect her daughter from harm, both physically and emotionally, and surround them both with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Lord, we ask that You would soften the hearts of those involved in this case—social workers, judges, and anyone else who has influence over the outcome. Let them see the truth and act with justice and mercy. We pray that You would remove any bias or deception and replace it with clarity and righteousness. Father, we also ask that You would heal any brokenness in the relationship between this mother and her child’s father. If there is any way for reconciliation or peace, we ask that You would make it possible, but if not, we trust that You will work all things together for good.
Most of all, Lord, we ask that You would draw this mother and her daughter closer to You. Let them feel Your presence in a tangible way, and let them know that You are fighting for them. Give them hope for the future and the assurance that You are in control. We thank You for hearing our prayer, and we trust in Your perfect will. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to hold fast to the promises of God, even when the circumstances seem impossible. The Lord is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and do not lose heart. This battle is not yours alone—it belongs to the Lord, and He will fight for you (Exodus 14:14). Stand firm, dear sister, and trust that God is working even when you cannot see it. You are not a horrible mother—you are a child of God, and He is with you every step of the way.
