My brother, Eric, will be attempting to get his children back legally from his estranged wife in a little more than 5 hours. He has not seen his children, Korin (age 10), Damon (aged 9), and Aaron (aged 8) in over a month, and they are his entire life.
My sister-in-law is an extremely disturbed individual with numerous psychiatric and physical problems, and ran away with the children one day while my brother was at work. He does not know where any of them are, has had no telephone contact, and has been searching frantically for them ever since.
Would you please pray that Eric can be reunited with his children, and that none of them come to any harm? Unfortunately, my brother lives in a state that automatically assumes the mother to be the better caretaker, but in this case I am hoping the judge will see otherwise.
Praise God!!
Prayers sent!
You, your brother and his children are in my prayers! Please let us know when they find the children. I pray for their safety and that they will be returned to your brother.
My son is going through a similar problem. His wife has been trying to keep his daughter (4 1/2) from him since February when they separated. He has a very good job, so unfortunately she has enough money (his!) to fight tooth & nail. She even went so far as to acuse him of sexual molestation, and put her daughter through all the testing. The Doctors, psychiatrists, police and child protective services all said the charges were baseless, and it was obvious she was coaching her daughter. They have been in Child Custody mediation, and the mediator came out with a report that said my daughter in law was to be mentally evaluated, and would be bound by any findings. Several counselors and psychiatrists have said they feel she is Bi-Polar. The report also said she was to put my granddaughter in pre school five days a week since she (my granddaughter) needs consistancy. Her mother keeps her home for preschool and sports constantly saying she is sick. She is now fighting the mediators report, and they are going to court on Monday. She is refusing to let my son see his daughter, despite the courts ruling, by saying she is ill (even though she will take her other places on those days). She has refused to be tested, and has kept my granddaughter from my husband and I since January. I ask for your prayers for my son and his daughter also, as I keep your brother and his children in mine. Hopefully they will both have positive outcomes soon!

Prayers, prayers, prayers, and more prayers for your brother and the children!
Been there with my son. You are in for a bumpy ride and please don't be surprised if the courts don't take her side. It will make no sense.
God bless you; my prayers are with you.

Praying for God's providence and blessings to surround your brother and his family, and grant them just the result that is best for each of them and their lives in accordance with His will.
Praying for your brother and his children, that they will be reunited with one another.
Thanks for the update. She doesn't sound well. Prayers for the children, a sound court ruling. Gotta run. Have a good weekend and let us all know how it eventually turns out...
Praying for those precious innocent children and hope they can be returned safely to their dad.
I am so sorry I just read this. I pray that all is well - but I will continue in silent prayer until we receive an update.
God is with him - as the children belong to God - and one does NOT mess with a Child of God.
Keep the faith- it will turn out.
Staying in meditation for this istuation. JK
OMG...How horrible for your loved ones and especially the kids. Prayers going up for a safe and speedy resolution to this.
May the Lord keep each of you and your families close to His heart and well-protected.
It is heartbreaking to hear about these children having to go through these things. It also breaks the heart for the adults, because anyone who is a parent (or grandparent) knows that watching your child suffer or endure hardship, or injustice, is one of the most difficult things to do as a parent.
I'm praying for you and your families. God bless.
Thank you!
Prayers from TX
Praying that the children are safe, and found soon. What a shame that she is putting them through all of this.
So many prayers for needs, good thing our Lord can handle them all!! Your families are both in my prayers and may the Lord place a shield of protection around all of the children involved.
