40 Days of Prayer: Children throughout the world

Children throughout the world:

It really doesn’t matter what country a child is living in right now, this virus is affecting everyone’s daily life. For children it can be a time of fear and disorientation, as well as a time where a sense of community has been torn away. What adults around them are saying and doing can either build up a sense of security or a sense fear. Kids have been pulled from schedules, friends, and family and many will lose loved ones without the chance to say goodbye.
 
Children are resilient; past generations have shown that they can adapt more quickly than adults. We are also in a time where the psychology of children is more understood and accepted. May we as adults be living conduits to help the children of the world adapt and grow during this time.
 
Pray for the hearts and minds of children. Pray that, no matter where they are, they may feel connected to someone and something bigger. Pray that they can grow during this time and that their spirits will be uplifted and nurtured.

Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it. 

Proverbs 22:6 NIV
