prayer - day 32

LORD

please bless the children of Gulu today. Each one of them LORD, in whatever situation they are in - child soldier, homeless, captive, young mother, abused, lost, alone, brain-washed...whatever their life is at this moment, please bless them. Please help them find you. To know you now, remove whatever barriers there are, in Jesus name. So they can know the truth and know that you are their Heavenly Father who loves them.

That you see them right where they are and you are relevant in their every day lives. That you hear their cries and see their pain. For them, you sent your son to the cross, so that they may have life in abundance to the full. So they will be set free, and their broken-hearts healed.

LORD, I believe in you. I believe that you will send your Spirit to help each one of these children. I believe that you will come for them and rescue them like you rescued me. I believe that all things are possible in your name. I believe that we can do all things through you son who strengthens us.

I can't help these children but I can pray for them. I can cover them in my prayers and hide them in you LORD. Please forgive them their sins LORD and save them. Help them to find Watoto, help them to escape their situations, and provide ways for them to be saved.

LORD, move mountains for your children. Bring them home LORD. Help them to find your refuge. Protect them from evil. Protect them from men who would hurt them. Protect them from themselves LORD.

I know you can do it LORD. I know you can change lives and set captives free. I know you can be their shelter from the wind, their refuge from this storm. Please show your body in Gulu right now what needs to be done. Give them the resources they need to bring you glory. Remove all barriers from their paths, so they can achieve your will LORD. Please let your will be done.

You are their Shepherd, they shall not want
You make them lie down in green pastures
You lead them beside the still waters

You restore their souls
You guide them in paths or righteous
for your name's sake

Even though they walk through the valley of death
They will fear no evil
For your rod and your staff protect them

You prepare a table before them
In the presence of their enemies.
You anoint their heads with oil

Their cup overflows
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow them all the days of their lives
And they will dwell in the house of the LORD forever

In Jesus name i pray amene
