Title: urgent prayers needed
Post by: White hair on May 13, 2015, 01:31:00 PM
My youngest son has a 3 year old daughter out of wedlock. Just found out her mother who the granddaughter lives with is with 3 different guys.
(skum bags) and is doing oxy and smoking some kind of pills. Out of control. My son and us need to get her out of there. Money will be a problem but our God will provide. Pray for our little ones safety. If any of those guys hurt her there will be hell to pay.

I know my words at the end of my first post didn't seem real nice. But Jesus said not to hurt children. I am the patriarch of this family and I need to stand strong.
Thank you for your prayers.

I'll be praying for you.  I was removed from a situation like that as a child and it was the best thing that ever happened.

Prayers the best possible outcome happens for the little girl and for her mother, that she both wants and receives the help she doesn't yet realize she needs.

Also I pray for guidance for Daniel so he may know the best plan for doing the right thing. And pray he does not end up in jail for trying to do the right thing, as he will not be able to protect your family from there.    :pray:

Naturally, you canvassed legal advice as to options...

Wait on the Lord... His will is perfect but it doesn't always match our own desires...

Prayers for peace, insight and protection for all concerned.

Thank you Brothers. God is working through all our prayers. Even though I can be very protective and sometimes angry with this ,my heart hurts for the ones who are lost. The mother and all need Christ. We pray God will use us. Not going to drop my guard. God is working.

Our little Ruby is our precious gem. She is 3 like I've said but she is amazing. You see her daddy walked away from Christ 4 years ago. She recently went to her room at our home and got her bible book and brought it to her dad. The other day she called me over to her chair and said pray papa pray. I did for her. Friday evening our son and his girl friend were there. She came down stairs and said "Jesus died on the cross " right out of nowhere. She is our missionary too.

Touching story!

Thank you, Lord, for custody to be yours and for God so loved the little children....  :)

Nothing more pure or simple then a child's heart or understanding of things we adults make complicated.

Amen.

Father God your son and his family need your provision, praise you for being with them. Fulfill your promises to them and if they have sinned forgive them and cleanse them from all unrightiousness. Fill them with your Holy Spirit who will lead them in truth.

Heard it said, the closer we get to God's will, the more the devil turns up the heat to try one last time to have us Doubt HIM...

You must be doing something right to get so much of the Liar's attention...

Keep the Son in your eyes and we'll watch your back with prayers...

My wife and I are closer than ever. So much time in prayer. 94 degrees right now. Satan is turning up the heat in more ways than one. we found out our granddaughters mom got pregnant by another man other than her fiancé . He just found out last night the baby boy is not his. We pray God's protection and the blood of Christ protect my family.

Even God can only do so much...where hearts are closed to him.

Sin abounds...NOT to suggest other's sin is greater then my own...for it is not.  Sin is not rank ordered in the 10 commandments, each is as bad as the other in God's eyes...so I have much for which to ask and receive His forgiveness...

I will continue to pray for spiritual healing on your family, but you, DAN, cannot take on the sins of others' choices... that job has already been allocated to Christ for us!

Prayers for peace the passes all understanding and his Grace be on you and yours!

The worst thing about all this is my wife lives in a constant state of fear. What if we are out and someone trys to take her? I will be there. She doesn't trust anyone or thing. We pray and she doesn't trust God to be there. I hate this Doc,
hate it.
Title: Re: urgent prayers needed
Post by: Doc Nock on June 28, 2015, 09:29:00 PM
Daniel,

You cannot MAKE anyone else have faith...anymore then you can lead a horse to water and then MAKE him/her drink!

Each must make their own way in Faith.

Rest in yours and we'll continue to pray for your wife to have more.

My Mom loved Jesus with all her heart, but lived in FEAR of everything from the boogey man to lightening.

Never was able to help her see how that is part of Faith, but it is...

From a devotional this week:  The antidote to the voices of doubt is to instead listen to the voice of God. Just imagine all the critics that were in Noah's life. “That guy Noah thinks God speaks to him, but he's just messing up all of our property values by building that ark in his front yard.”

Not been around for a while. Things are still tough. Hard on everyone. Straining our marriage. It's a long way to court in September. Trying to make bows and arrows to take my mind off this junk. I want to fade into the woods.

We have a court date. Aug. 12. Pray that the judge will hear the truth and do what is best for My granddaughter. Her mother is telling more lies.
Thank you brothers. I am grateful.
Title: Re: urgent prayers needed
Post by: BenBow on August 03, 2015, 08:13:00 AM
Father in advance of the court date prepare the judge to hear with wisdom, the people who testify on behalf of Daniel's granddaughter to have a clear, sound, and convincing testimony. Confound the words of those who have no love for her and make their words and actions show how incapable they are to give Daniel's granddaughter the love and care she needs.
Thank you Jesus

Court is tomorrow. Fear anxiety are hitting us all hard. Fear of loosing this dear child to a mom who can't take care of one let alone 2. Money is the issue. A free ride she wants. Along with her addict boy friend.
Guys this is hard. Hard to trust. Forgive me Father.

Dan,

HE forgives you, all of us, over and over and over...

Sometimes in this realm, evil wins...never in the final realm!

HE is holding your li'l wee one in His Hand... may not be your solution, but He never fails and he love his children...

Keep the Son in your eyes... have the Faith that rejects all doubt.  His Will shall prevail!

Well things went well. (PRAYER WORKS) My son will have his daughter 50/50.
Next step will be to get support dropped and full custody. But this was such a burden lifter today.
Thank you all so much.
Title: Re: urgent prayers needed
Post by: Doc Nock on August 12, 2015, 04:40:00 PM
Your burden was our gift to help thru prayers...

Read this today in a devotional:

James 1:3-4 says, “When your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.”

The only way you can grow to spiritual maturity is to have your faith tested. One of the ways God’s going to test your faith is by delaying some answers to your prayers.


Glad things went this well for today... prayers will continue for God's Will to prevail

it ain't over yet. the mother is harassing us and threatening my son with empty lies.

Post by: Doc Nock on August 13, 2015, 09:36:00 PM
Ah...

Like a preacher said...if everything starts to go wrong, you KNOW You're getting closer to God in your walk, for the DEVIL has to turn up the heat.

Maybe she's mimicking the devil and knows that she has to go on the attack where she can...

Let her spew her drivel... tape it.  Get a PFA perhaps... that'll help down the road..

Regardless, it's solidly in God's hands for it to have gone this well so far and the rest is all flash and boom...

Keep the Son in your eyes!

Nothing good. Her mom tells her DADDY doesn't love you. You do not have to obey him. Her manners are trashed . I am very tired and this is hurting my marriage. Wife is mad at me all the time. She is depressed. I need the Lord to give us peace and show Himself mighty.
Title: Re: urgent prayers needed
Post by: Doc Nock on September 08, 2015, 10:11:00 PM
Trusting in HIM, sometimes means we have to leave our troubles at the foot of the cross and accept that HE is in Charge!!! YES?

Hardest thing for me personally is to give thanks for what is already asked, believing it is already answered... THAT is faith, they say...but sometimes beyond my mortal abilities.

I'm sure God has your grandchild in his loving arms, but now I will pray for you and your wife to know the peace that passes all understanding.

Keep the Son in your eyes!
