The Power Of A Praying Adoptive and Foster Parent

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 to the Called to Love Podcast! Thank you for joining me on the very first episode of Season 4! It is a privilege and gift from God to be able to share the practical, clinical, and Biblical information with you every week about adoption and foster care, which is a calling so near to our Father’s heart. In this episode, I am sharing with you the power and significance of praying for your child, whether they’re with you for a brief season or a long one, and a list of prayers you can use. Here are a few key takeaways: The most important practice of the Christian faith is prayer. Prayer carries over the course of a lifetime. We need the power of prayer as adoptive and foster parents. More is caught than taught; let children see you pray. Prayer is about communing with God, not just asking for things. We should pray for our children's specific needs and concerns. Prayer is our greatest weapon against the enemy. Let's gather together in prayer as a community. In this episode, I also share some big and exciting news! I am working on a book! I have been working on a book based on my adoption journey for a few years now, so to finally partner with a publishing company to make this a reality is amazing. The book is coming in the Fall 2027, which seems far away but it will come before we know it. To submit your prayer requests, use this form by clicking here! You can email me your questions about adoption and foster care at [email protected]. I would love to connect with you on Instagram or send you my monthly newsletter with free resources and first access to episodes and more!
