For a good custody decision

[beatitude]

A close friend has had to swear an affidavit regarding a custody decision over some children who may be being abused by their mother. She has told the truth about what she witnessed in visits to their home. The mother has in turn submitted an affidavit claiming that my friend is too severely disabled to have written what she did, she is easy to manipulate, and it was probably written by someone else. My friend has seen the statements about her and is upset, as she knows from experience that a lot of people do discount her word on the basis of her disability, and she is worried that the children's safety will be jeopardised because she isn't seen as a credible witness.

Please pray that the children will be safe and loved. Also pray for my friend, who is hurt to have her disability used against her in this way.
