Father God,
You Who Is all-wise and all-knowing;
grant Kaden and his father and grandfather peace in the waiting,
that they may be calm in the storm.
Put Kaden’s needs and well-being always at the top of their minds.
In this time available, bring to light any and all information that will help Kaden.
Reassure his father and grandfather that You will always be there for Kaden;
and help them to explain the blessing of Your eternal presence in a joyful way to Kaden.
We pray, Lord, for a wise and discerning judge and ruling;
and that all parties to this dispute kneel before the Lord Jesus in perfect submission, whether now or later, for the rearing of Kaden in Your Word.
In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
Amen!!

Update:

Kaden was returned to his father this weekend as per the custody order. However, he was returned with a bruise on his shoulder that appeared to have been made from either a thumb or finger. My son had Kaden examined at the hospital, and I was told Kaden reported to the physician that his mother had hit him, and slapped him in the face on Saturday. All this has been documented. We'll have to see what the next weekend brings. Sigh.

Father God,
Again we come before Your throne of grace and mercy on behalf of little Kaden.
Thank you, Father, for his innocent testimony. Keep him ever truthful; even as we pray that no harm will mar him or discourage him from Your truth.
Father, you know what is best for this boy’s life. Prepare all your servants for both the worst and the best outcomes for this precious child; including the complete surrender of his parents, grandparents and any domestic partners to Your absolute laws of righteousness.
Bring patience, steadfastness and a constant adherence to the child’s best interest into this struggle.
Remind all participants that You work Your miracles large and small in Your time, not ours.
Create order and harmony for this boy’s future in Your ordering of lawyers, judges or any other officials.
In Your infinite wisdom, weave a strong web of Christian love around this boy, fully supported by Your infinite power and supernatural protection.
In Jesus’ name we pray,
Amen!

So sorry for the turmoil at home. No one, but God, knows the hearts of these men and women that are honoring our “one Nation, under God” by their sacrifices.

Dear Lord, please provide for our honored patriots at home and overseas. Keep them safe and their hearts in Your hands.
Their families also need all the reassurance and support we can give them.

In Your name we pray, Jesus. Amen!

Prayers this mother is kept as far away from this little boy as possible. I hope the courts do right by this child and any visitation is done under supervision. Have psychological tests been done yet?

My son and his wife have sought and initiated counseling for Kaden. He has had at least two sessions with the MFT therapist, and will have many more before the next hearing in May.

I hope the hospital reported it....sounds like your son needs an emergency order to keep Kaden away from her.
