Pray for Families (The Widow, Orphan, and Alone)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

Families are a blessing that we often take for granted. Occasionally, we focus too much on what's wrong versus what is right with our family.  Pause, reflect, and give praise to God for your family!

Sometimes people no longer have any family.  It can be lonely, scary, isolating, and despairing for them. They may feel vulnerable, as they become easy prey for the wicked.

Do not oppress the widow or the orphan, the resident alien or the poor; do not plot evil against one another in your hearts. Zechariah 7:10

Today let us pray for those without a family to pray for them.  The widow, the orphan, and all those who find themselves standing alone. They are our family in Christ, so may they too benefit from the power of our prayer.

Lord, bring comforting, loving, and empowering grace to all those who stand alone.  May they sense their guardian angels protecting and guiding them. May they we embraced by the loving friends you send them! Bless them and continue to hold them in the palm of your hand. Amen

Learn to do good. Make justice your aim: redress the wronged, hear the orphan’s plea, defend the widow.  Isaiah 1:17

Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet

Prayer for someone who has no one to pray for them. Pass it on!
