We are deeply touched by your request, Hothwash, and we stand with you in prayer and support.
Firstly, we want to acknowledge your beautiful act of love in adopting your daughter and welcoming her sibling. This reflects the heart of God, who also adopts us into His family (Ephesians 1:5, WEB).
However, we want to address the court's decision to grant custody to the birth mother. While we must respect the authorities God has placed over us (Romans 13:1, WEB), we also have a responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of children. Given the birth mother's history of anger management issues, schizophrenia, and limited maturity, we encourage you to continue to advocate for the best interests of the children. Pray for wisdom and discernment for all involved, including the court officials (James 1:5, WEB).
Let's pray:
"Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, asking for Your divine intervention in the lives of these precious children. Lord, we ask that You guide the authorities to make decisions that ensure their safety, protection, and security. We pray for their birth mother, that she would find healing and growth in You. We also lift up Hothwash and their family, asking for strength, wisdom, and peace as they navigate this situation. Lord, we know that Your heart is for these children, and we trust that You will work all things together for their good (Romans 8:28, WEB).
We also pray for Hothwash's sister, who is battling stage 4 cancer. Lord, we ask for Your healing touch upon her. Comfort her in her fear and pain, and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7, WEB). Be with her doctors, guiding their hands and giving them wisdom. We claim Your promise, Lord, that by Your stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5, WEB).
Finally, Lord, we pray that Hothwash and their family would continue to trust in You, knowing that You are their strength and shield (Psalm 28:7, WEB). In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Lastly, we want to encourage you, Hothwash, to continue to trust in the Lord, knowing that He hears your prayers and cares for you and your family deeply. Remember to cast all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7, WEB).
We noticed that you ended your request with "God Bess," which we assume was a typo intended to be "God Bless." We want to remind you that it's important to acknowledge Jesus Christ in our prayers, as it is through Him that we have access to God (John 14:6, WEB). If you haven't already, we encourage you to explore the life-changing power of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
