Today Is....

Today Is:
National Day Of Prayer
For The
Orphans Of Guatemala
PLEASE join with us today as we lift up the children and families caught in the process of adoption and the children that have no families as well.
Please read James 1:27 today.
No matter who you are, you are called to be a part of the life of orphans. If God sees it as pure and perfect, then how can we not get involved? We are ALL called to love, pray and DO.
Thank you for giving your time today to make the difference in the future of the life of a child.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thanks for first loving us and adopting us as your own. Thank you for teaching us in your word how you need us to be your hands and feet and care for the orphans of the world.
God we unite today in this special time of prayer asking for you to reach out and do amazing miracles in the country of Guatemala. We pray you would turn the hearts of the kings (the government) and show them YOUR love and compassion for the children that so desperately need families and to be HOME. We pray that you would touch their hearts and minds and lead and guide them. We bind up the plans of the enemy to keep these children captive and forgotten. We pray that mighty angels would go now to comfort them and protect them. Lord We pray that each child would feel your presence and know your love. We pray that you would touch the hearts of the caregivers and help them to love and care for these children the way you would. We pray that the new process of adoption would be set up quickly and that it would be one of integrity and truth. Father we pray that ALL cases in process would be released and that these children would be allowed to come home to the families that love them QUICKLY.
Father God we thank you that you love us and care for us and that you are faithful to hear our prayers and answer them. Hear our cries today oh Lord and set the children of Guatemala FREE.
Father God with all that we are we cry out to you for the Mommas out there right now that have children in Guatemala. Oh God - we can only imagine what they are feeling right now. We pray that your peace would flood their souls and that your grace would sustain them. Lord God we ask you to meet every need in their lives. If they need financial help - We pray that it would come quickly from places they never dreamed it would.
Lord strengthen the waiting families and show us how to encourage them and love them through this difficult time. Father God - you perfectly designed a Mother's heart for her children - so we pray that you would comfort them in the ways that only you can dear Lord.
Teach us ways to help and how to make a difference in the country of Guatemala. Lead us and guide us and NEVER let us forget for a moment the children that still wait for families. Touch the hearts of your people Lord and help them to see the great need in Guatemala. Prick our hearts daily Lord and let our hearts always be broken for things that your heart is broken for.
We ask these things with GREAT faith - knowing that you are a good and loving Father,
In Jesus Name ,
Amen

Legacy of an Adopted Child

Once there were two women who never knew each other, One you do not remember, the other you call Mother,Two different lives shaped to make you one,One became your guiding star, the other became your sun,The first one gave you life, and the second taught you to live it,The first gave you a need for love, the second was there to give it,One gave you a nationality, the other gave you a name,One gave you a talent, the other gave you aim,One gave you emotions, the other calmed your fears,One saw your first sweet smile, the other dried your tears,One made an adoption plan, that was all that she could do,The other prayed for a child, and God led her straight to you. Now, which of these two women, Are you the product of?Both, my darling, Both, Just two different types of love.---- Unknown
