I have a bad relationship with my ex and I have been trying to make it better for my daughter's sake but he's so full of hate for me and I don't know how to reach him. I try and show him forgiveness but he continues to try and hurt me but ends up hurting my daughter.

This past Sunday my church had an alter call for people who know someone who needs to know Jesus. I went up and prayed for him. That he might open up his heart to the Lord and learn to put our daughter first. After sermon I went to pick my daughter up from Children's church and received a notice that the children are working on a special presentation for the Christmas service. The practice times fall on his visitation time so I have asked him to bring her to the practice and offered to take her if he can't. I also invited him to come see her presentation.

My daughter is a beautiful spirit who loves God and loves the things we do at church. I don't see many 5 year olds who usually want to sit and listen to sermon instead of go to children's church but she usually does and she tries her hardest to understand sermon and apply it to our life. She was so excited about the presentation and it will break her heart if she can't participate because her father thinks it will hurt me if he doesn't take her.

I also am asking for prayers for this that he will end up at service to take her to practice and to come see her perform and I am hoping that my Pastor might reach him with the message and it might get through to his heart. Please pray that he will allow our daughter to participate in church and also that he might come to know Jesus and stop using our daughter to try and hurt me.

thank you

Your intentions will be in my prayers.

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us, and increase Your mercy in us, so that in difficult moments we might not despair, nor become despondent, but with great confidence, submit ourselves to Your Holy Will, which is Love and Mercy itself. Amen

Heavenly Father, all things are possible through you. In Jesus name I pray for your perfect will in the lives of this mother, father, and their daughter. Thank you for the love you've put in the hearts of this mother and daughter and thank you that this father will learn to put his daughter's feelings before his desire to hurt her mother. Thank you for this and for all you do, Amen!
