He Fills the Void

I am drained.



This evening I held my daughter, rocking her in my lap, while she cried, "I want my mommy."



She didn't mean me.



She meant her birth mother. Lately, she feels abandoned by her birth mother. Confused over why this young woman would place her for adoption.

I opened my Bible to show my daughter all the verses I've highlighted that apply to adoption. They are all over the place. God constantly tells us, when He adopts us into His family, we are full heirs. He fills the void in our hearts.

Dear Lord, help my daughter see the truth that we love her totally. That You love her totally. Heal her hurts. Fill the void in her soul. Give me strength. Give me patience. Show her your presence.
