Today's prayer focus is that the Lord would begin to restore their innocence and joy! Many have had to look not only after themselves, but also for their younger siblings.They were robbed of their childhood, having to deal with situations WAY beyond their years. As a result, many of their hearts have become calloused.They take on the role of "Mom or Dad" and forget what it feels like to be a "Son or Daughter."
They never got to experience all of the wonderful things that come with being a child who is looked after and cared for.
So, In the name of Jesus, I ask that all the years of innocence that were stolen would be restored. That every precious one would encounter You, Abba Daddy and begin to feel Your love and nearness. Soften their calloused hearts so they might experience the pure, childlike, carefree JOY that comes being YOUR son and YOUR daughter.
In Jesus' name,
Amen!
Love,
Lauren
This was an awesome prayer focus and I was especially moved by the statement that they have not been allowed to be sons and daughters but rather moms and dads. I WILL be praying for them.
