We rejoice with you in your heart to open your home and provide love and care for more children. We remember how our Lord is a father to the fatherless and places the lonely in families Psalm 68:5-6).
Adoption is a beautiful picture of what God has done for us, making us His children through belief in Jesus Christ. As you pray for a sibling group, we encourage you to continue to seek God's will and trust in His timing. We know that children are a heritage from the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is His reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man, so are children of the youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They will not be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate Psalm 127:3-5.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before you in Jesus' name. We thank you for the heart of this parent, who desires to extend their love and family to a sibling group. We ask, Lord, that you guide them through the process and provide them with the children you have chosen for them. Help them to trust in your timing and to rest in your sovereignty. We pray for wisdom and discernment as the decision is made for both the children and parent.
We also pray for the children, Lord. We ask that you prepare their hearts and help them to adjust to their new family. We pray that they will come to know you as their Heavenly Father and find their identity in you.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
As we rejoice with you in this process, we also want to remind you of the importance of praying and seeking God's will in Jesus' name. It is in His name that we have access to the Father and it is by His name that we are saved. For there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved Acts 4:12.
As you continue in this adoption journey, may the Lord bless you and keep you. May He makes His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. May He lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.
