165 Hours of Prayer for the 165 Million Orphans World Wide:
New to the 165 Hour Prayer? Start here, then read Day 1, Day 2, and come right back! (Don't worry if you haven't started 'on time' or followed 'exactly' the suggestions of this prayer, please, just start now and continue on with us in this special time of prayer!)
Day 3: The Fine Print
The details of the adoption process can be, nope, they just ARE overwhelming. From day one of paper work with appointments, calls, interviews, forms, mailing, contracts, research....there are many details that need to be perfect in order for the adoption process to run smoothly. The t' are crossed and the i's are dotted so to speak, but a fact is that some forms ARE specific about what color ink you use!
Thankfully, we serve a God of detail. He is so detailed oriented that He knows the hairs on your head, the grains of sand on the beach, the very intricate parts of the human body, not to mention every other living creation on all this earth. And He knew these things even before He spoke them into existence.
If our God can know these things, if our God created these things, if our God cares for and watches over the entire universe that He spoke in to place, then surely He cares for His children!
Be encouraged today, that no matter what detail of life seems to be overlooked by the caring hand of the Father, it is not. He knows and sees even the fine print and He's got this!
Scripture:
"For he looks to the ends of the earth, and sees everything under the heavens" (Job 28:24)
"He counts the number of the stars; he calls them all by name" (Psalm 147:4).
"Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father's will" (Matthew 10:29).
"But the very hairs of your head are all numbered" (Matthew 10:30).
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations" (Jeremiah 1:5).
Prayer:
Praise: What an awesome God we serve! Creative and all knowing! Think of something in nature that amazes you- maybe the depth to a starry night, or the details of a fall colored leaf, praise Him for the intricacy of His works and trust Him that He cares even more for you!
Pray: Pray for the details of the adoption process. Pray for the office workers, caregivers, agency workers, lawyers, judges and parents - all who are simply people dealing with people (all capable of error), and pray that processes be completed in an error free and timely manor that will ultimately get the children to their new families! Pray for signatures to be collected on the papers that need them and for clearances to go through.
Pray: Pray for the Lord to show you what details of your life you need to trust Him to take care of. We all make mistakes and we all have troubles we carry, but He wants to lift those burdens from us and let us walk a little lighter as we trust Him to take care of the fine print!
Psalm 139:13 "You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body, and knit them together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! It is amazing to think about. Your workmanship is marvelous-and how well I know it. You were there while I was being formed in utter seclusion! You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in your Book!"
