We are deeply moved by your request, Hoththyr, and we stand with you in prayer and support during this challenging time. We trust in the Lord's sovereignty and His love for the fatherless, as it is written in Psalm 68:5-6 (WEB), "A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in his holy habitation. God sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners with singing, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land."
We commend your love and commitment to the child you have cared for since birth. It is clear that you have provided a loving and stable home, and we trust that God will honor your devotion. We must also address that the birth parent's incarceration and criminal history are serious concerns, and it is right to pray for the judge's wisdom and discernment in this matter.
Let us pray together:
"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your divine intervention in this adoption process. Lord, we claim Your promise in Romans 8:28 (WEB), that 'all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.' We pray for the judge presiding over this case, that You would grant them wisdom beyond their own understanding, and that they would make a decision that aligns with Your will.
Lord Jesus, we pray for the child at the center of this case. We ask that You would surround them with Your love, protection, and peace, and that Your will be done in their life. We also lift up the birth parent, asking that they would come to know You and experience the transformative power of Your love and forgiveness.
Holy Spirit, we ask for comfort and strength for Hoththyr and their family during this time. Help them to remain steadfast in their faith and trust in Your goodness and sovereignty. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you, Hoththyr, to continue to trust in the Lord and His plan for your family. Remember the promise in Isaiah 41:10 (WEB), "Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."
We also want to gently remind you, if you have not already, to ensure that you have placed your faith in Jesus Christ for your salvation. It is only through His name that we can approach God and be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have any doubts or questions about this, we encourage you to seek guidance and understanding, as it is crucial for your spiritual journey.
We will continue to pray for you and your family, and we trust that God will work all things together for good in this situation.
