Day Twenty-One of Forty


Zimbabwe

Oh, how my heart cries for Zimbabwe.

God we ask, we plead for this land and its hurting people. Especially for the little ones.

Please take care of our special children in the orphanages, Lord. For Pretty, Precious, and Tinotenda. For Samuel and Wellington. For Kudakwashi and Dillon. Beverly and Matthew and Luke. For Miriam and Lincoln and Forget and Jane and Trust. Munyaradzi, Sarah, Memory, Nancy and Catherine. For the kids at the other orphanages and schools and feeding points. And all the others...

Meet their needs. Keep them in health. And happiness. May they grow in the fear and admonition of the Lord.

Bless their teachers who love you. Bless their pastors who care. Bless their caretakers who are being substitute parents.

Protect them all from harm and danger. Make them wise.

God, undertake in this beautiful yet sad nation. Pour out your love and compassion upon all the hurting ones, may they lean hard on you in this time of trial...

Give them Peace in the midst of the storm. Peace that passes all understanding.

In Jesus' name
Amen
