Trusting God’s Provision & Timing In Adoption
Adoption is a journey filled with uncertainties, joys, and challenges—but above all, it is an opportunity to trust the Lord in new and profound ways. As you stand on the edge of this decision, I want to encourage you: you are not alone.
God Will Provide What You Need
God’s Word is filled with reminders that He is a God who provides. Philippians 4:19 tells us, “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
Whether your concerns are financial, emotional, or practical, God’s faithfulness is constant. He is fully capable of meeting your every need as you take this step of faith.
God Meets Us in Our Weakness
Adoption can feel overwhelming, but it’s also a place where God meets us in our weakness. He doesn’t ask us to have it all together; instead, He calls us to come to Him with open hands and trust His leading. Just as the Israelites followed Him through the wilderness, trusting Him for their daily manna, we are invited to depend on Him for every step of the adoption process.
He Equips Those He Calls
If you’re hesitating, wondering if you have the capacity to do this, take comfort in the truth that God equips those He calls. He doesn’t promise the journey will be easy, but He does promise His presence every step of the way. Isaiah 41:10 assures us, “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Trust Him With the Unknowns
Lean into Him. Let His peace quiet your fears and His promises strengthen your resolve. The God who called you to consider adoption is the same God who will guide you, provide for you, and sustain you.
