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.
Good. Please tell us, where are the kids?!!!
prayers up for your family too! So many opportunities for the Lord to show His faithfulness! :)
Prayers that the children are found quickly and in good health! Please ping me with updates Aracelis.
The police are looking for her and the children. The judge was very upset and told my brother to hang in there...they would find his children.
I suppose we all should be feeling very anxious right now, but the Lord has filled us all with a profound sense of serenity. I cannot explain it, but neither will I question it. I think tonight we will all finally sleep well.
Thank you so much for the updates, Aracelis! I join in prayer for both of your families - and most especially the children - God's protection, peace, blessing and healing!
Praying that our Heavenly Father will open the judge's eyes to see justice for your brother.
I will pray for him, but did you mean he still isn't aware of where they are? I pray he finds them safe and well.
My best to him.
No one but her family knows where they are, and her family won't reveal anything to authorities, much less to my brother. Thank you for your kind prayers!
Father above,
We don't know what will answer the need of this family, but You know. We praise You and worship You, trusting in Your holy will for this family.
We ask Your protection for the child, and for patience and faith in Your timely outworking of Your will for her, whether it takes weeks or years.
We earnestly pray for salvation for every one of the family members, that their faith in You may be complete, and that every thought of their hearts and minds may reflect Your glory.
Through faith, You accomplish Your miracles; Your miracles are needed now, and we claim complete healing in advance. Help each of these sorely troubled family members to lean on You and trust in Your providence.
In Jesus' holy name we pray,
Amen!
Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Blessed Trinity,
We come to You humbly, with reverence and joy in Your presence. Blessed be Your Name in all the earth! Your hand is mighty and Your majesty is infinite, Lord God Eternal!
We praise Your outworking of justice in this situation, tempered always with your mercy and tenderness. There is no God but You, and no love more holy nor compassionate. In faith therefore we commend the children to Your care and pray for Your protection over them.
We pray for the complete surrender of every heart of each family member to Your grace and mercy. We pray for their complete salvation, on which You have based Your promises. And we thank You for your concern for every hair on the head of each of us, Lord Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth!
You made each of these family members; they are Yours; and You know every fiber of their hearts. Bring a correction into every heart and mind, Lord, that all may glorify You by every word and deed.
In Jesus' Name we pray,
Amen!
Prayers up for your son and your grandchildren as well. May God keep the child safe, reunite her with her father, and may in this as in all things His will be done. I ask this in Jesus' Name, Amen.

I pray that the hate can be driven from your daughter-in-law's heart, and that your granddaughter can be with her father until that can be done.
