Prayer for needy children

www.compassion.com

Lord, in your Word [Lamentations 2:19] you say, “Arise, cry out in the night, as the watches of the night begin; pour out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord. Lift up your hands to him for the lives of your children, who faint from hunger at the head of every street.” Heavenly Father, we could be overwhelmed by the needs of so many children around the world—children who are hungry, hurting, neglected and abused. Lord, you see them! Help us to see them too. Keep our eyes attuned to the needs of children around us. May we reach out to those in our neighborhoods, and may we reach out to others around the world through prayer and perhaps organizations that work on behalf of children. May we follow Jesus’ example in encouraging the children to come to Him. In His precious name we pray, amen.
