Four time Grammy awards winner Madonna wrote a cryptic message about her continuing battle with ex-husband Guy Ritchie last Wednesday on social media site Instagram.

On her Instagram account, the singer-actress posted a mysterious message that may pertained to the on-going custody fight she and Ritchie are involved in, according to People. Guy and Madonna got married in 2000, but filed for a divorce in December 2008 due to irreconcilable differences.

"Same... teach me how to pray," Madonna's Instagram post said. The line was lifted from one of Madonna's singles in her new album Rebel Heart - Devil Pray.

Apart from adoptive child David Banda, 10, Madonna and Ritchie have a biological son, Rocco John Ritchie, who was born on Aug. 11, 2000. Ritchie, 15, has been ordered to stay with his father by Judge Deborah Kaplan of the New York Supreme Court until the ex-couple's custody issues are resolved.

"No one is disrupting this household," said Kaplan. "The child is in school. Let us try to allow him to go forward in the most normal way."

The decision seems to contest a previous directive from Kaplan in December requiring that the child be returned to his mother in New York.

At last Wednesday's hearing, however, the couple's lawyers and Kaplan seem to have settled for Rocco's betterment. It was agreed that he will continue staying with his father in the U.K. as he studies in a school chosen by both his parents.

The next court hearing is set for sometime in June and  both parties are expected to appear.
