June 9
Most Loving Father,
We the people of the United States, and the world at large beseech You for our hearts to be softened for the great need in the world. That You might loosen the hands that You have given each of us; to give freely to the poor, the hungry, those needing assistance, and those seeking a family to call their own. That the Holy Spirit within each of us would be allowed to move without restraint and in obedience to comfort those around us. That the purse strings that we clutch so tightly would be opened to bless others, especially those who live in third-world poverty, as it is nothing like we have in our own country. Bless the children without parents who live as orphans, and give them a hope of being loved by a Foster or adoptive family. Father, you knew the plans that You had for each life prior to conception, and You alone know what purpose each of us will fulfill for Your Kingdom. Allow each life to flourish with good nutrition, clean water, love, and proper housing. Protect the innocent from those who may wish to prey upon them, and strengthen the providers for those in orphanages, or other care communities. And Father, most of all, call those willing to serve in Your Earthly Kingdom to assist those who are without hope.
We ask this in Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen!
