3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 5 For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. 6 If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. 7 And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.
I prayed for God to softened the heart of the judge last night around 10:30. I've been thinking about you. Hang in there! Let us know as soon as you hear something!
ReplyDeleteI prayed that their hearts were moved for all of the right reasons to open adoption for these children. And then I prayed the judge open up the adoption process even if it is for the wrong reasons! I think we will take any reason, right?!
