Reframing Your Mindset As A Christian Adoptive Parent: Surrendering Your Fears

from Called to Love: An Adoption Podcast for Christian Parents - Christian Adoption, Trauma and Healing, Foster Care, Parenting Adopted Children · host Somer Colbert and Christian Parenting

Welcome back friends! Today on the podcast we are continuing on with Reframing Your Mindset as a Christian Adoption parent... Today’s topic is surrendering your fears - this is such a big one because, no matter where you are in your journey - there is always something you can choose to be fearful about. And usually our fears are expressed through the questions we ask. Adoption comes with countless questions, unsettling risks and a good amount of fear. Once you sense the Lord’s prompting to take steps toward adoption, a flood of worst case scenarios aren’t too far behind. So what questions can we ask and which questions are the right ones? Let's dive in and see what God's Word says! Download your FREE guide HERE! FAVORITE TAKEAWAYS: Behind every question concerning adoption there is a heart crying out for a guarantee. As much as we all desire that fairy tale ending, what we really want is to dodge those worst case scenarios. This is very normal and nothing to be ashamed of because we have an innate tendency to self protect. When God prompts you to do holy work, the enemy is always standing at the ready to whisper lies that will sabotage the whole plan. God is not frustrated by your questions. He welcomes the wrestling as long as you do it alongside Him and with a “thy will be done” mindset. Am I called? What step is God asking me to take? Our God is infinitely patient and when He wants you to do something, He doesn’t leave you alone about it.
