Day 29: Prayer for Protection of Vulnerable Children

Reflection: God has a special heart for vulnerable children: orphans, the poor, the abused and the marginalized. Throughout Scripture, He calls His people to be their defenders and advocates.

When we pray for protection of vulnerable children, we're asking God to shield those who cannot protect themselves and to move human hearts to act on their behalf. We're interceding for children in foster care, those living on the streets, those trapped in trafficking situations, and those facing abuse or neglect. We're also praying for those who work to protect vulnerable children — social workers, aid organizations, foster families, and adoption agencies. God's anger burns against those who harm children, and his love compels him to be their defender. He calls us to be His hands and feet in protecting the most vulnerable among us. This protection includes physical safety, emotional security, and spiritual nurturing.

Today, let us pray for the world's most vulnerable children, for those who work to protect them and for our own commitment to being advocates for those who have no voice. May we be part of God's army of protection for vulnerable children.
