MALACHI 4:6
He will bring fathers and children together again...


This first sentence grabbed my attention. The verse is about God (our Father) wanting a relationship with the us (His children) - to put it simply.

The context of the passage is in the Spiritual AND is to be taken literally in our own lives of our families.

This brings me to my prayer request. Last month in July, I was desperately seeking God's answers in what to do about my daughter. The short version...because of a volitile marriage, my wife left me, took our child (3 yrs. old) to live with another man back at his homestate. Its a long story how it got to that point, but i'll get to the point. Now, its been 2 to 3 months she's living in another state with my child in a new relationship God never put together. I haven't seen nor talked to my daughter for months now and I'm in pain. The verse in Malachi was my Spiritual/natural triggers to pursue seeing my daughter. I tried to fly out where she now lives, but had flight troubles so I couldn't go. I pursued legal action, NOT divorce, to get custody rights (suit-affecting) for my child. To find out my attorney dropped my case for personal reasons. Now I'm back to square-one.

I don't know what to do anymore. I don't want my daughter to forget she has a real father who loves and prays for her. I feel so helpless, worried, alone and defeated. I'm wondering if I'm hearing the Lord right over anything in my life and my family. As for next steps, I don't know. Please pray and thank you!

Exodus 14:14 The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.

Psalm 37:7 Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices!

Psalm 62:5 For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him.

Hi...
There are many verses in Scripture that tells us to wait on the LORD...
We have a tendency to march on a head of God , wanting things to be put right ASAP , but God works in His timing not ours...

Keep praying and waiting , God will open a door for you...
Maybe your flight plans were stopped because it may not of turned out the way you had planned...

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD , with all your heart
and lean NOT on your own understanding
In ALL your ways acknowledge Him
and HE WILL DIRECT your paths...

I will pray for you now...xox...

I’m very sorry to hear about the struggles your family is going through. I’m praying for God’s intervention, help and guidance for your situation, my friend.

Psalm 50:15 Then call on me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory.
