We have given
to You information about our adoption programs that is very valuable. However, we would be
remiss when we talk about the life of a child if we do not speak of the life giver, . . .
that being the God of this creation and the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
We want to remind you what Jesus Christ says about life:
"The thief comes in the night to kill, steal and destroy, but I have come to give
life and give it more abundantly." (John 10:10)
What God says in Jeremiah 29:11 to his people, "I know the plans I have for
you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to
give you hope and a future."
From David's song to God in Psalm 139:13-16. For you created my innermost
being; you knit me together in my mother's womb, I praise you because I am fearfully and
wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden
from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of
the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in
your book before none of them came to be."
God loves his creation, including you and doesn't want you to just merely
exist, but to have life abundantly. In addition, God desires to have a personal
relationship with you. Perhaps as you make your decision for adoption or in making an
adoption plan for your unborn child, you have felt much discouragement, fear and feelings
of betrayal from life in general or close friends.
We want you to know that God is for you and not against you. He will help you and guide
you. All life is important to God. You are important to God. Below is a simple prayer:
Dear God of All Creation: You know me and my situation. The life of my child
is important to you. You know my pain and my hurt and disappointment. I thank you that
your will is not to do me harm, but to prosper me. I thank you that you can forgive me,
heal me and restore me. I ask you to be the perfect love in my life. Help me to get to
know you better and to learn of your will for my life. Help me to make the right
decisions. Amen.
If you have never invited God and his Son, Jesus Christ to be in your life
and you want Him to be a part of your life, here a suggested prayer. He knows your heart:
Dear Jesus I need you. I know that I have sinned against you because your Word in the
Bible said "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." I thank you
that through the shed blood of Jesus on the cross that my sins are forgiven and atoned for
and through Jesus' resurrection the third day from the cross that I can walk in total
newness of life. Thank you for forgiving me of my sins and cleansing me of all
unrighteousness. I want to accept you as my Lord and Savior. Fill me with your Holy Spirit
and teach me the truth. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
It says in the Bible , "If you ask anything according to God's will that
He hears and if you know that he hears you then you have the petition that you desire of
him." Obtain a New Testament Bible and start reading John. Read a chapter a day and
ask God to reveal Himself through His word. He will.
If you said this
prayer and you would like additional information, please share this with us and let us
