Lord, childhood should be a time of joy and laughter, of learning about life and love, of growing up with family and knowing the love of Jesus.
So many in this old world are not able to experience any of the "normal" things in life, like our own kids in the USA know. With parents dead (mostly from AIDS) and only evil neighbors (who prey on them) to offer shelter and/or food, their lives are really dark and hopeless.
The thought of these kids being abused so horribly is more than I can get my mind around. I'm really not sure that I even want to fully understand it all. I just know that YOU, Lord, are greater than this evil.
Please undertake in this terrible situation. Give these little ones your HOPE and love. Help us to effectively tell them about your healing power, your saving grace, and your tender care. Open their hearts to receive this Truth.
Protect them from further harm and danger. Heal their hurts. Heal their hearts. Heal their minds. Heal their spirits.
Set them free!
In Jesus' name,
Amen
