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.
I woke up this morning hoping for your update. Prayers still going up.
Your little granddaughter is now included in my prayers. What a heartbreak for you.
The day is very young and we may hear of a miracle soon!
Hey, no problem. I pray that this walk thru darkness brings you all into the light of goodness.
Prayers for your son and granddaughter.
Sounds like this would be grounds for an Amber Alert.
My brother tried the night they left, but the police said they couldn't issue one because she's his wife. The wheels of justice grind very slowly sometimes. If they cannot find her today, I suspect an alert and an active warrant will be issued.
Prayers for a successful outcome.
Prayer sent.
I pray that your brother will find his children and that they will be returned safely to him. May God undertake on his behalf.
Prayers for the entire family.

Prayers from this part of Ohio!
O most merciful God, and heavenly Father, who hast taught us in thy holy Word that thou dost not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men; Look with pity, we beseech thee, upon the sorrows of thy servants for whom our prayers are offered. Remember them, O Lord, in mercy; endue their souls with patience; comfort them with a sense of thy goodness; lift up thy countenance upon them, and give them peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
My entire family extends our most profound gratitude to everyone for remembering Korin, Damon and Aaron in your prayers during this very stressful time. My brother in particular is deeply touched and comforted by your care and concern.
I will keep you posted as anything new develops, and most certainly you are in my prayers for God's very special blessings. Thank you!
Praying for their safety, and that they will be found soon.
God's providence and blessings surround the situation, and all who are involved, toward a good resolution.
Tell your brother to be prepared with some money. When my kids were found, they were put in an overnight foster care home. It cost me $25 per child for that service. I had to pay it before I could pick them up. (That was for only about 9 hours of care). Seems wrong to charge that to a parent who has been through the terror of your child missing!
