   National Prayer: In God We Trust by Teresa J. Herbic He makes peace in your borders. Psalm 147:14 ESV Dear Heavenly Father, We thank You for our country. We praise You for the freedoms we have and the many blessings You have bestowed upon us. We thank You for the orphans in our foster care system and Those in urban areas in need of Your nurture and rescue.

The image of his cheeks, his reflective eyes, and the little blue hood snuggled over his precious head would not leave our minds. One of our recent adoptive families chose a child similarly in the orphan adoption process. Atana is a six-year old bright-eyed, handsome boy from Bulgaria with an infectious smile. When I learned of the family’s choice, I felt overjoyed. I realized that this child would be the recipient of overflowing love from an incredible, God-centered family. If he does not know Christ, I believe someday he will. If he does not feel loved, I trust he will be elated with his new home in gladness. The family in return will feel God’s hand at work satisfying their hearts and souls with His good pleasur
