Prayer Puzzle

We completely believe in the power of prayer. He has heard our cry in so many areas of our life. The power of prayer should not be underestimated. James 5:16-18 declares, "…The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops." God most definitely listens to prayers, answers prayers, and moves in response to prayers.

We want you to join us in praying for our journey. Please begin praying for little Kohen. Pray for health, healing and safety. When those who hold him in their arms, may he feel our touch, warmth and love. Ask God to let little Kohen know that we will not leave him as an orphan. That we ARE coming to him. Pray for grace and mercy. Pray for the adjustment phase of it all. For Keldon and Karsyn, for the grandparents and aunts and uncles to have an easy adjustment. Our prayer is when they see him for the first time, they are overfilled with complete love with no boundries. Begin praying for our travel there. That the Lord works it all perfectly. Pray for the paperwork process. No mess ups and let it all go smoothly. Pray for those who read our story to be moved to take action. May it touch a person's life and may they see Jesus through it. And praise Him for answered prayers. Thank Him for hearing our cry and the cry of little Kohen.

If you commit to pray for us let us know by commenting to this post or sending us an email. We have purchased this puzzle titled Got Lemons? Make Lemonade. We will put your name on the back of a puzzle piece. We will then glue it together and hang it in a double sided frame. When Kohen gets older, he will see the back of the puzzle and know ALL of the people who were praying for him and who "knew him before he was in the womb" Jeremiah 1:5. Thank you for being a "piece" of this life-changing journey!
