Heavenly Father,
Thank you so much for your love for us. We know that you are all-powerful and faithful, and that we can trust you with anything and everything. We pray now that you would make your guiding hand known as we pray for this request for the adoption process for ________. Each and every one of us are unique, important, and special to you, and when we are able to share and grow our lives through adoption and the miracle of family, we not only give the {child/children} a loving and supportive home, but you as their loving and supportive Father. And not only will {this child/these children} who will join ________’s family bring them joy and pleasure, but it will also help to serve and glorify you and your good and perfect will. We pray that you give patience, strength, and resolve to be successful in the arduous and laborious process of adoption, with the myriad pages of paperwork, interviews, and seemingly-endless waiting. Like a pot of water reaching 211ºF, or the people of Israel circling Jericho for the 6th time, help us to remember that the next step may be the final one that acts as the inciting event to bring things to completion.
Help ________ to know that by putting you at the center of their lives, you will provide everything needed in due time, and allow {them/him/her} to live the life desired and the life for which you have created, including the blessing of an adopted child. We know that you will continue to guide and direct in this path, and that you will help bring about the results in alignment with your good and perfect plan.
Thank you for being our perfect and gracious Father, for your promises to us, and for always completing the work you begin.
We pray this all in your holy name. Amen.
