We grieve for the children in America who enter this world without the security of a father to provide, protect, and love them, or a mother to nurture and care for them. Show us what we must do to restore our culture and rebuild the human family as You created it to be. Remind us that the presence of both a mother and a father is vital to the strength of the home. Turn the hearts of fathers and mothers toward their children, and lead us to cherish and protect marital fidelity, preserving the foundation of both family and nation.
For the children—whatever the circumstances that have led them to be orphaned, in need of adoption, or placed in foster care—let them know Your faithful and unfailing love. Open the hearts of those called to be parents, that they would seek these children, welcome them, provide for them, and become living examples of Your compassion and virtue.
“[F]or in You the fatherless find compassion.” Hosea 14:3 NIV
“For unflagging interest and enjoyment, a household of children, if things go reasonably well, certainly all other forms of success and achievement lose their importance by comparison.” — Theodore Roosevelt

Operation World Pray for Israel : Israeli-Arab conflict in the Holy Land moved to a new level over a century ago, intensifying since 1948. The conflict that escalated in October 2023 saw horrific attacks against civilians in Israel. Israel responded by invading Gaza, and the death and destruction that followed was orders of magnitude worse. The conflict led to waves of global marches, protests, and counter-protests with a divided world arguing about who to blame. The destruction of Gaza has wrought devastation, drawing accusations of genocide. Resolution to any conflict is elusive due to competing claims and agendas. Both sides lay claim to the land, and all human efforts to resolve this conflict have failed. As long as corrupt, wicked leaders who benefit from violence control both governments, and while hatred is harboured in people’s hearts, no ceasefire can last long. Cry out for God’s mercy, and pray that both sides of this conflict will find true reconciliation and genuine Shalom through Jesus the Messiah.
