Hopefully most of our sponsored children are living with their fathers. Let’s take a break from our scheduled weekly prayer topics and pray specifically for the fathers of our sponsored children today and this week.
Pray for their health
Pray for their safety
Pray for their ability to provide for their family
Pray for their self-esteem
Pray for their salvation
Pray for their spiritual leadership
Pray for perseverance
Pray that they would trust in God
Pray for their marriages
Pray for their ability to parent
….the list goes on and on.
Put yourself in their shoes for a moment….if a complete stranger chose to sponsor your child ~ to help financially, to build a relationship through letters, to pray for your child and your family ~ wouldn’t you be grateful?
I have recently begun praying for my sponsored children's parents by name. I realized that I don't know all of the parents' names and the last time I wrote, I asked if they would share with me the names of their parents. I'm pretty sure their parents know my name, and I would like to know theirs.
