Heavenly Father, please help us- Austin (8) & Brooks (5), and if it isn’t not too selfish to ask please help me, too. I found the strength to leave my physically and sexually abusive spouse. We are now in the heat of a terrible custody battle as I am seeking custody of our babies; until Nathan can get the help and healing that he needs to find you- our incredible Savior, let go of his aggressive nature, and cease hurting others to cover his own frustrations. I was able to get myself to safety, but now the court questions whether my children should be with him solely until he heals, and not with me. I do not understand how leaving two small children in the hands of a convicted domestic abuser is just. I am terrified. My children are my life. Please help us Father, and guide Judge Richelle Wahi to truthfully think about the safety of our children with all of the substantiated she has. I resent myself and feel selfish for having fled from the abuse. If I knew it would’ve led me down a path of not being there for or with my babies I would have stayed with Nathan. My children need safety, I need strength, Nathan needs healing, and I am on my knees asking you to help the Judge to see the truths, facts, and risks of not allowing time for all to heal. Please, God, please help us.
Lord I pray that you continue too bless us ad give us good health. Please let my daughter's surgery be the answer to all
