Prayers

I am constantly amazed at how God answers prayer, even though He gives us every assurance in His Word that He will answer prayers, according to His will. However, He is gracious enough to place a desire for His will on our hearts, so that we are praying for the very thing that He has planned.

The Lifeline staff witnesses this every day as the Lord brings answers to prayers. Prayers for the sick, the orphans, children in foster care, children experiencing a dissolved adoption, the childless couple.

We just celebrated the Lord’s gift of our new office building. After a long delay from the Lord, He brought us to the right place at the right time. He built into the location things that we could not have anticipated. One example is that the Mayor of the City of Hoover is the former DHR commissioner! He understands the needs of the children we care for and expressed his support of our ministry with his presence at our Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at our Open House! So in retrospect, we thank the Lord for his delay in bringing about our new office building.
