Loving Lord, we thank You that You care for the hurting and the disadvantaged– You care for the lost and the oppressed – You care for widows and orphans – and today we bring before Your throne of grace the many children in the world today that are having to live their early years, without the loving support of parents. 

Look down in pity we pray on all who are alone and vulnerable in this evil world and Father we pray that You would draw close to all orphans and hurting children – supply their need and bring them into contact with those that will support, help and protect them from those who would prey on their innocence. 

Loving Lord we ask that many of these fatherless children in our world today would hear the truth of the glorious gospel and be brought into Your kingdom – Lord we know that the day is coming when You will wipe away all tears from their eyes forever – but we also ask that You would provide for the many orphans throughout the world who are in need of a Saviour – in Jesus name we pray, Amen
