prayer - day 14

had baby's check up today. All is well except i have to increase his solids a lot more now. I read in my baby bible to try each new solid for a week to see if he has an allergic reaction but the clinic nurse said it's fine to increase it more. So he has a fun week of food to look forward to!

LORD
as i learn how to take care of my son every day I am reminded of how you take care of us. Are you doing more and more each day to help your children in Gulu? Are you finding new ways of rescuing each one of them from the situations they are stuck in? Are you helping your body to set up their refuge so these children will have somewhere safe to escape to?

There is so much that can be happening right now, in the natural and in the spiritual that I have no idea about. But I pray in faith that these things are happening right now. That you are removing strongholds, healing broken hearts and restoring innocence. That your plans are even greater than my small mind can fathom, that in the spiritual, you have taken captive principalities and overthrown their plans.

Thank you LORD. That all we need do is ask. That prayer is our first resort and not our last. That we can do all things through you who strengthen us. That greater are you who lives in us than he who is in this world. What seems impossible to us is more than possible with you!

I can't wait to hear of all the good that will come out of this. Of all the progress you have made in saving your children. Of lots of good reports from Watoto.

Thank you LORD that you are helping Watoto, the Skinners, the leadership team sent to Gulu, to find favour with the local authorities. Thank you for helping them build strategic partnerships with those in power in the government and overseas. Thank you that you filling them with your Holy Spirit so they can make wise choices, and be imaginative in their plans for these children.

Please protect your children LORD. Help them to know you. Open their hearts and minds so they recognise good and stand against evil. Fill them with love for others so they will not continue as soldiers but have strength to oppose these men who rule over them.

LORD the villages that are rejecting them because of all the destruction and death they have caused. Please fill them with compassion for these children. Help them to see with your eyes, Lord Jesus. That they know not what they do. If they have a chance to rescue one of these little ones, please help them to make the right choice, Lord.

Help these children to find those that would help them. Help them to find their way to Watoto or any other organisations that genuinely want to help them. Clear paths for them LORD and show them the way they should go.

I pray in your holy name Lord Jesus, amene
