My family could use a bit of prayer this week. One of our daughters and her husband have a home where they foster troubled teens. Their home is on acreage with horses and other livestock and they use these critters as healing help to troubled kids. With the extra kids, animals and acres they need extra adult assistance. Also with the environment of fostering kids come child protective services checks.
One of the guys who helps mentor kids and work with animals recently broke up with a short-term girlfriend. The jilted girlfriend has made several accusations of wrongdoing by this guy toward her own children and children in our kids’ household.
Local cops investigated and found no problem. The gal took it over their head to county sheriff, DA and state CPS. My kids are accustomed to child services checking things out, never had a bad mark.
But the last 5 days have been horrid. Police every day at the house. Some children had to move out and are now not in good quarters. The man against whom these accusations is made was one of my son-in-law’s subordinates in the army. I think he’s one of the good guys.
We need prayer if any have the heart for it. I have been preparing Thanksgiving Dinner in Faith that all would be here. My family keeps getting pared down with every bang on the door. It is no longer an investigation, it is harrassment now. They banged and walked in on my daughter before coffee this morning, then dragged daughter, son-in-law and one grandchild in for questioning. They are still there.
Let us not be silent in our communities and let us not be silent in our prayers. Lord, you know the pain that is in our hearts right now, a pain that is unjustly permitted. Bring us your truth and guidance. Holy Spirit please hear our prayers as we pray today. In your name we pray. Amen
Do they have a lawyer present during the questioning? They shouldn't talk to the police without a lawyer present; especially if they're innocent.
Innocent people can be tricked and fooled by the police who are free to lie.
Get a lawyer now.
2020: the gift that keeps on giving.
Heartfelt prayers sent for both your families.
Prayer’s for you, and for our nation’s deeply troubled justice.
Praying now for Gods protection and truth to come out. For all harassment to stop. For girlfriend to repent and admit her false accusations.
I’ll pray. (That sucks.)
Your story reminds us of Jesus on his way to the Cross. Unjustly vilified, tortured, for the sins of others.
Prayers for your precious children, and then Hire an Investigator on this curse of a short term girlfriend. GRRR.
Praying!
FATHER GOD,
You see all and know all. You abhor those who bear false witness.
We stand on GOD’s promise on behalf of this young man who is being falsely accused.
Isaiah 54:17 17 _ No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the LORD.
May his name be cleared and the children returned to W neighbor’s daughter’s home.
May the ex-girlfriend show remorse and come clean with her story.
In JESUS’ Name we pray. AMEN.
a nightmare!
Prayers for your family!
Prayers up.
Prayers for your family and the precious children in their care.
I’m very behind on the threads but reading yours broke my heart.
Will keep your children and the children they care for, in my daily prayers.
