Prayer Request
Prayer Request
I’m asking for prayer for my sweet niece, who will be four next month. We have not seen her since she was two, and the separation has been incredibly painful for our family. Her mother relocated out of state and is pursuing steps that would sever my brother’s parental rights. This has left us heartbroken.
We are praying for restoration that our relationship with our niece would be restored and that we would have the opportunity to regularly be in her life. We long to see her, enjoy her, watch her grow, and pour into her the love that has always been there for her.
She is a beautiful biracial child living in a place where she may not often see reflections of herself. We pray that she feels deeply rooted in identity, belonging, and love. That she would know, even from afar, that her family loves her, misses her, and is covering her in prayer.
We pray for her safety, her protection, and her emotional well-being. And we pray that God would soften hearts, remove bitterness, and make a way for reconciliation and healing in a way only He can.
Amen.

Does your niece's mother use Facebook, Instagram, or other social media sites? If so (and if you do also), try contacting her through one of the sites. Explain to her that you don't want to get involved in her and your brother's relationship, but that you would still like to maintain a relationship with both her and your niece, as you care about her as well. Hopefully, treating her with kindness will encourage her to stay in contact with you. Hopefully your brother won't be upset about you befriending his ex, but if he is, explain to him why you are trying to establish a friendship with her. I will say a special prayer for all of you.
I'm praying God will bring her back to you and your family. I can only imagine how painful this matter is for you. Sadly, adults put little children in the middle of nonsense. God bless you all abundantly
Lifting you and your family up in prayer 🙏
