Pray with us to move mountains

I know prayer works and moves mountains! 
Though names and details must remain discreet I ask that your prayers be as specific as possible, in trust that God knows every detail.

While we love through this undetermined season 
and wait to know if we can adopt this child, please pray:

• The Lord's will for a "forever family" for this child is determined soon, either through his biological family or ours through adoption. That we would trust God alone for the best outcome He desires. That the many unknown factors will come to light and best reality for the child will be considered by all involved, and that God would prepare his heart to be ready for the family He will provide him.

• That both of our sons will have a tender heart for the Lord to work in – that no matter where life takes him he will know that Jesus is beside him every step of the way – and he would come to know Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Pray also that God transform his life and heart so that he would be able to forgive those who have wronged him.

• That we will remain his last home – he has already experienced four foster homes before moving in with us. We have committed to be here for him as long as he needs us so he can have stability and love which is required to build the self-esteem needed to grow into a responsible, caring adult.

• Pray that God would draw this child’s biological family to Himself and that they would
experience the life transformation only God can give.

• Pray that his current therapy will continue to progress so that he's able to deal with entrenched pain and move toward restoration and healing.

• Pray that as he begins a new year at a new school that he will make a few solid, healthy friendships and be able to focus on his schoolwork and do his best. 

• That Steve and I will would have wisdom and would experience God’s grace as we parent
our children.

• That we as a family receive the support we need from our communities where we live, work, school, worship, and play.

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened
to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who
knocks it will be opened.”
—Matthew 7:7-8 NASB
