Words of Prayer: 04/19/26

Heavenly Father, today we entrust to You the children of the world, and most especially those who bear the heavy burden of being deprived of a father. You are the Father of the fatherless and the Protector of the vulnerable; we pray that Your presence may be felt deep within their hearts.

Lord, for every child who feels a void where a father's love should reside, fill that space with Your overflowing peace. Remind them that their identity is not defined by an absence, but by Your presence. Let them know that they are chosen, seen, and deeply loved by You—the One who created them.

We implore Your divine protection upon their paths. Where scarcity reigns, provide abundance. Where fear reigns, instill courage. We pray that You:

• Place compassionate Christians along their way to guide them with wisdom;

• Surround them with a community that serves as a family, offering them support and encouragement;

• Shield them from the lies that would lead them to believe they are of lesser worth or that they have been forgotten.

Thank You, Father, that You never leave us nor forsake us. We entrust these precious lives into Your safe hands.

We pray in Jesus' name.

Amen.
