For Children Without Parents

Abba Father,
Come to the aid of children without their biological parents. Heal the hurting hearts of those who lost their parents through tragedy. Soothe the troubled minds of those given up for adoption who feel unwanted and struggle with abandonment issues. Bring peace to those bearing the weight of shame because of incarcerated parents. In all situations like these, provide loving and nurturing environments for children to be cared for and raised. Richly bless those willing to step in and make sacrifices to love these needy little ones. If they don’t already know you, allow them to be introduced to you, their loving Heavenly Father. Point them to the cross so that they may know the depth of your love. Then, enable these children to love others deeply because they know how deeply loved they are by you. Meet all of their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs in accordance with your lavish generosity. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Cherish My Baptism

Gracious Father,
My baptism isn’t just an empty church ritual that happened to me some time ago in the past; rather, it is who I am. I am a baptized member of your family, adopted into an inheritance that will never perish, spoil, or fade. Therefore, my identity and sense of worth are not based on my successes or failures, but on all of the generous, gracious promises laid out for me in your Word. So, rather than ruminating on past regret or fixating on the future anxiously, I can always be at peace in the present, for my baptism assures me of where I stand before you: forgiven and treasured. By your Spirit, empower me today and every day to live confidently in my baptismal grace and to boldly walk in your steps, so that I reflect for others the joy of belonging to you. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
