Prayer Request
Please keep our family and grand child in prayer as we go through court proceedings to protect, keep, and have soul parental responsibilities of our grand child who we’ve raised the child’s whole life. Her father is a drug addict and alcoholic and is trying to take her away. He’s lied stating he’s not using anymore or drinking anymore and we know through other mutual friends that he still is. She’s terrified of this and often has melt downs and suffers from major anxiety when she’s made by the courts to visit him. She needs protected, loved, and left to be raised in the only home she’s ever known. We are solid Christian people and have raised her up in the church since birth. Her father is an atheist. She deserves the best protection possible and having us to raise her knowing the love of God. Please pray our court case is guided by God and that He will bless our family and this child in our favor. Pray the judge will listen to us and take us seriously and decide that this little child needs to continue to be protected and raised by us. This precious child has major anxiety issues every time she’s forced by the courts to visit her bio dad or even talk to him on the phone. It is so heart wrenching to watch her have to be made to go through this from a decision a magistrate made who doesn’t know this child at all. It’s been over a year and we’ve never been allowed to have our witnesses testify to the lies the father and his mother stated in court and we’ve never been able to have information entered into court yet and now beginning of December this new judge will be making the life long decision for this child she doesn’t know at all in any form. We have a new judge now and a new lawyer as well. Please pray that God will bind Satan from this case, the court room and anyone involved. Please pray God will guide my lawyer and the heart and mind and soul of the judge. Thank you for anyone listening and praying for us and our grand child. We need all the prayer we can get for this precious child.

Dear Lori,
I’m so sorry to hear all of this devilish mess that you and your family have to endure. I too am a devoted and loving grandmother who had to endure this type of situation. I watch my 13 year old step grandson go through so much trauma with court battles and I had to endure the painful look on his parents face and my baby grandson for the last 10 years; and It’s still going on right now. My grandson’s bio father took my step grandson away from his mom and my son when they were getting ready to head out of town for a long awaited vacation back a few years ago. My son called me crying and screaming how could this happen when they never went to court and all sorts of crap! The paternal grandmother is crooked who works for social services in her town, the son is angry and bitter at my daughter-in-law for being married to my son! It’s such a huge mess but like I said it’s so painful. We have to endure this crap until they go back to court again to resolve this. So far she’s lost every last case and he never seems to get caught with his lies and deceitfulness. The judges wouldn't let my son speak in the courts; asked him to step out! My son lost it when the judge told him that and he called me on a rage!
He now receives child support from her and it’s tearing up the household. My grandson who is theirs together is 12 years old and he’s had to endure this crap for 10 years of his little life. The boys have been so traumatized and not to say their parents haven’t; but all of us as a whole. The bio father has told my son that we’re not his family and he need to thank his wife for this mess. He has other children but he won’t mess with their mother or families. This is the first grandson on both sides of the families. So he wanted his son to be raised with him and his crooked mama helped.
So when I read your prayer plea my heart sank. Unfortunately the courts are getting tied up in such a way that only GOD can turn it around. My prayer for you my love is that GOD open windows and doors that need to be opened and close windows and doors that brings destruction to be closed in the mighty name of Jesus!!!
Satan can’t do nothing to you unless he gets permission from the FATHER who is our Lord and Savior. I’m not sure if you use “blessed oil” but if you do, pray using the oil to cover all of the court hearings, to lead and guide the lawyer’s words, to touch the mindset of the judge and allow testimonies to be heard! Pray for “favor” with God and with man. I’m going to touch and agree with you that God softens the heart of the judge to see the child’s visitation be limited to what you ask for. We both Bind the devil as we speak in prayer believing for a miracle to take place in the courts and give you a testimony to others.
I pray for inner healing for your granddaughter and that she will have peace in her mind, body, and soul!!! In Jesus Name amen!
Stay strong and ask what you will to the Lord and HE will do it! Trust and believe doubting nothing.
We lost our grand daughter to her bio father in court. For some reason my new lawyer STILL did NOT enter any evidence on our behalf. We’ve been going through court for well over a year and we’ve NEVER been able to enter anything. This last court hearing was the first time we even were allowed to have our witnesses testify. They were totally ignored. The judge said I was an “actress” which FLOORED me as I was the ONLY one telling the truth along with my witnesses. My heart is absolutely broken right now. My grand daughter is having a SUPER hard time knowing she’s being taken away from her two sisters, me and her Papa. I’ve been her “mom” since birth. Taken care of her totally without an ounce of help in ANY form from her bio dad. This IS her home. She just melts when we take her for visits and has been absolutely beside herself hysterical every time we’re forced to take her for the visits crying and screaming.
She will finish her school year with us and come spring she will be gone forever. My heart is preparing as like a mother preparing for a death of a child since the brain knows no difference between death and my grand daughter being made to leave us. I’m now in the early process of mourning. The bio father and his mother(who is a probation officer in the county we had court) only lied on the stand about everything. Due to my lawyer NOT entering any of my phone records, messages, screen shots and any other evidence as well as my witnesses testimony, the judge made her mind up before we even entered the court room due to the inability to get any of my information in. I’m beside myself as well as my grand daughters sisters. It has been an absolute travesty for my little one and her sisters. They’re all having a very hard time with this. As I am too. I went in court with the FULL belief that God was going to protect her and save her from this horror story that unfolded.
Please keep praying that something changes. The father is to have drug hair follicle testing done immediately but it’s been over a month and he’s not got it done yet as we speak. The longer they wait, the harder it is to get an accurate test. He’s doing this on purpose due to the knowledge we know of him using drugs. I can only pray now for a miracle. Thank you all who’ve prayed for us and continue to do so. We’re in Colorado where the front range judges are extremely bias. Especially in southern CO and in the county we had court the bio dads mother knows all the judicial ppl there and we have found out that she’s used her position to sway the judge. It is absolutely corrupt and wrong. We tried to get the case to be in the county the child has resided her whole life but they wouldn’t allow it. Which in its self is also wrong. As I’ve stated, we need a miracle now. My heart is absolutely broken for her. This little girl NEEDS not only protected but this IS her home. It is going to drastically affect her negatively to be forced to move to the city with her bio dad(who lives with his mother as well). She’s really having a very hard time processing this and has been having nightmares waking up crying and begging me to help her. I’m just sick. Mentally, physically, spiritually....I’m asking for everyone to PLEASE pray for a miracle now. Only God can help change this situation.
GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY. SUPPORT #FAMILY. PRAY FOR HIM. :-) GOD IS LOVE. <3
Thank you. We lost in court. It was due to parental rights regardless of the fathers drug and alcohol addiction. The judge didn’t care about that. He also was to have drug hair follicle testing done immediately and it’s been 5 weeks and he’s still not done it. We’re filing contempt now due to this. He continues to shave his head but regardless the drug testing facility SHOULD be taking hair from all over his body NOT just his head. He’s still using and drinking heavily. I NEED major prayer now to have God intervene and save this child. We need a miracle. She is absolutely beside herself she’s being taken away from the only family she’s ever known. Her two sisters, me and my husband ARE her family. Her bio dad just “owns” her as property according to the court. She’s been having nightmares and waking up begging me to go back to the judge and tell her. She has melt downs out of the blue at any given moment as well. She doesn’t understand that we can’t just do that. My heart is so broken for her. I’m more like a mom to her rather than a grandmother. I’ve raised her since birth. Her bio dad has NOOOO idea what he’s doing to her and how this is going to affect her terribly in the future and he doesn’t care. It’s all about HIM not her. He doesn’t care how she feels or how this is going to mentally destroy her. She is his “property”. I’m just sick over it all. God HAS TO have a bigger plan. I just will not accept that this is what God wanted. Please keep her and us in prayer please. We need as much support as possible. A miracle....
