Prayer for Court-- 8:30 Kenya, 1:30 EST US

We are now 12 hours away. Is it OK if we hog the prayers requests today, and put the full Kenya prayers request tomorrow? We have all of the paperwork that was requested and more, so we just want to ask for the followings prayers.

  1. Our lawyer, Mrs. Musyimi, will speak clearly, concisely, and with wisdom.
  2. The judge’s concerns about our motives are satisfied by the recommendation letters.
  3. The judge’s concerns about our family’s lack of acceptance will be satisfied by the presence of Mom, Dad, and Becca.
  4. The judge’s concerns about the law would be addressed by the outstanding letter we were graciously given.
  5. The guardian, Mrs. Esther Keli, would be able to address any concerns about our fitness as parents.
  6. The Carolina Adoption Services International Director, Mr. Tom Jackson, is able to help explain any potential gaps in US law.
  7. All of us would be patient and have a good attitude, regardless of how good or bad things have gone.
  8. Any spiritual strongholds will be broken. Proverbs teaches that the horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the Lord.

Find rest, my soul, in Christ alone

Know his power

In quietness and trust.

When the oceans rise and thunders roar,

We will soar with you above the storm

Father you are King over the flood.

Help us be still and know you are God.
