On this third day of prayer, I would like to pray for children who might be scared or feel alone. Unfortunately, a lot of children have school or daycare as one of the only safe spaces in their lives. I am a teacher, and while I have still managed to be productive over this time, I have also been so worried about my kids from school.
Dear God,
Please wrap all of the children in your arms. I pray that if they lack a safe space or a pleasant home environment, that you would give them peace that only comes from You. I pray that they are being fed, and if they are not, that You would allow someone to meet that need for them. I pray their souls are being fed with hugs, cuddles, bedtime stories, and lots of family time during these scary times. I pray for how parents speak to their children in this time. I pray that children are spoken to with love, and even if they are disciplined, that it comes from a place of love.
Please allow the teachers' words and actions through "distance learning" to convey the appropriate messages of love, most importantly, and academics secondly. Give teachers peace during this time, confidence that "their kids" are Your Kids too, and give them the faith that You will keep them safe.
Amen.
