My brother, Eric, will be attempting to get his children back legally from his estranged wife in a little more than 5 hours. He has not seen his children, Korin (age 10), Damon (aged 9), and Aaron (aged 8) in over a month, and they are his entire life.
My sister-in-law is an extremely disturbed individual with numerous psychiatric and physical problems, and ran away with the children one day while my brother was at work. He does not know where any of them are, has had no telephone contact, and has been searching frantically for them ever since.
Would you please pray that Eric can be reunited with his children, and that none of them come to any harm? Unfortunately, my brother lives in a state that automatically assumes the mother to be the better caretaker, but in this case I am hoping the judge will see otherwise.
Prayers up.
Most definitely praying for your brother, and for the children. He must be terrified.
Prayers for reunion and healing.
Praying.
Best wishes and prayers to your family. Hopefully, he is well represented.....here is a HUGE recommendation, especially if he is not successful in today's attempt. If this has not already been done tell your brother to work towards a COURT ORDERED psychological evaluation of the mother.

Kids need Prayer bump.
Prayer up over here too!
Prayers from my family to yours, I can only imagine how terrifying this must be for your brother.
Prayers for your brother and his kids.
Lord we lift up his brother and kids and we know that ALL things are possible through you. WE give you the glory and magnify your wonderful name.
May the Lord bring your brother and his children together again!
Praying for your brother and the kids. I know what he is feeling, This happened to me 4 years ago with my ex husband. I am so sorry your brother is going through this!
MoJo...could you ping the prayer warriors for this? I don't have my list loaded yet. Bless you!
I came here and asked for prayers when I filed for sole custody of my daughter, and asked for prayers again when I went to court - I feel that the prayers that the Freepers offered up were of genuine help in those times of need - I now have sole custody of my 12 year old daughter, with supervised visitation for her mother.
My prayers go up for your brother Eric, and for his children, and for you as well. More and more, the courts are beginning to see that mom is not always the best choice, and I pray that this is the case as well in this situation.
This is on-the-plate, so to speak. My brother seems to have a good attorney (she's Christian as well), but the problem will be getting the court to recognize and admit the evidence my brother has discovered, because my sister-in-law will probably fight having a psych eval.
I thank God for your victory! May He bless you and your daughter with all manner of good things!
May God protect your brother and his family and healing for your sister-in-law.
Prayers offered. I saw my brother go through the same thing. With God's help, he prevailed and has custody of his children.
