praying boldly

i've started to pray some bold prayers about adoption.
i've been tempted to before.
but then got scared.
because i know when you pray things like, "God, give me patience" ...He WILL test you so that you have no other option BUT to have patience.

but, i'm ready.

Lord, make it equally clear to Pat and I that we should adopt.
Lord, guide us to the country/agency we should use.

i'm starting with those.
and praying BOLDLY...knowing that He will answer.
