Please pray for my husband and I. He has a eight year old son with another woman he wasn't married to. Ever since his son was born he has been involved, dedicated and on top of paying his child support. For the last three years, his visitation has been two days a week from 3 - 8PM and every other weekend. He has always had to fight to get more time with his son. Recently we went back to court so he could gain more time with his son. We are asking for a 50/50 schedule (week with dad and week with mom). This would be much easier on my husband's son with less transitioning. Mom of course if fighting our proposal. Doesn't feel like the decisions she makes are in her son's best interest. She puts him in the middle, makes him feel guilty for having fun with us, and manipulates situations. With two days before our trial date, which has already been postedponed from Nov., her attorney is asking again for another continuance. This has been the seventh continuance he has requested. I pray this time the judge doesn't grant his wishes at such late notice. This only prolongs the process and continues to leave my husband with little time with his son. Please pray for justice and a court system that will treat my husband fairly and award him for being a dedicated, loving and invovled dad! He's been battling this for seven years, it's always a fight and never easy. He deserves an equal amount of time with his son! Pray that his mother starts to make decisions that are in the best interest of her own son.

Dear father in heaven, i pray for this loving father. I pray for his love for his son. Please grant him your favor and give him the opportunity to show more love to his son and spend more time with him. I also pray that the mother places her son's interest before her interest and fulfills his need for love. I pray for this in your name.
Amen

Father, I do pray for the mother of this young boy. You are the only one who can provide her with that which she is desperately trying to get out of this situation. Holy Spirit of God, I ask You to come upon this mother and reveal Jesus to her if she doesn't know Him and make her so hungry for Him that she would seek Him first and foremost to make Him the Savior and Lord of her life. Holy Spirit, cause her to thirst after true righteousness and to hunger for true wisdom. Holy Spirit, come upon this family and comfort that which needs comforted, correct that which needs to be corrected by God's standards, guide each one by Your Wisdom, strengthen that which is weak...and cover this little boy with a thick cloud of protection from that which would cause harm to his tender emotions. Be His God and make him Your child now and always...Lord Bless him and keep him and make Your face to always shine upon him and give him grace throughout his lifetime and forever. Father, Your Kingdom Come and Your Will Be done in and through this situation in Jesus' Holy Name. Amen
