My friend, B, got her foster care license last week after 13 weeks of training.  Today she is taking her first placement.  A three-year old little girl.  I don't know many more details.  B, like me, has never been a mama before.  She is following God's promptings in her life and taking in this little one. 

This morning as soon as I got her text the boys and I stopped to pray for them.

Here is our prayer...

Dear God...

Please watch over B this morning as she becomes a mama for the first time.  Give her peace and wisdom during this transition.  Provide her with all of the energy and words she needs as she learns to navigate life with this little girl in a system that isn't easy.

Father, we also pray for the little girl.  She is scared, because she was taken from the things she knows.  She is too little to understand.  Help her to come to know that she can count on B to take care of her needs.  Help her to know that she is safe.

Father, also help this little girl's family.  They are under a lot of stress right now.  Watch over them and take care of them.  Help them to follow your will.

All this we ask in your son's precious name.

Amen
