Prayer

We have been acutely aware of the Lord's gracious response to prayer throughout our adoption process. We would not have been able to adopt Selah except for God's faithfulness in response to prayer. We have seen Him provide the finances to adopt--finances that were not in sight when we began praying. We have seen Him answer very specific prayers, such as that Selah would be in foster care. We are deeply indebted to all of you who have been praying for us, and we want you to know that the Lord has answered in countless ways.

A number of people have asked how they can pray for our trip. Here are some ways we would ask you to pray:

• Pray that the Lord would give us wisdom as we bring Selah into our family, and that we would be faithful to train her in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
• Pray that we would be patient and gracious in our travels, and that we would be an encouragement to those with whom we are traveling.
• Pray that the Lord would cause Selah to bond quickly with our family.
• Pray for safety and health for the three of us as we travel.
• Pray for Easton and Jonas as we are away from them.
• Pray for Grandma and Granddad Johnson and Grandma and Grandpa Young as they stay with Easton and Jonas.
