Heavenly Father, we return to thank You that You know the desire and intents of our heart ... nothing is hid from You and nothing can be covered up. We lament, O God, that our courts are so far removed from the people they are to serve. Justice is to be rendered by righteous judges ... laws are to be upheld ... the widows and orphans are to be protected ... authority over the affairs of men are granted by the Hand of God, yet so often we do not see justice. Bring them to account, Merciful Father ... those who do not rule righteously and well, bring them to account.
Protect this dear one within the court system ... protect the children against unkind words and deeds. Shepherd them through every detail ... cause them to know that You will lead them through, and though the slings and arrows may fly, You will shelter them in safety. Strengthen each one, O God, with mercy and grace and truth, that You would be glorified. May it be thus, O Lord, may it be thus, in the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...
