Praying for the restoration of nations and for those in need ~ 28 Apr 2010 Psalm 18:2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

O Lord, we pray against violence, abuse and the exploitation of women and children. Today, we pray that we would turn our eyes towards others and the things of this world which do not please You. The world continues to persecute and torture millions of people while we, children of God, stand and watch. Father, we thank you for the many who have been called into action. We pray for Your hands of favour and power upon them to transform this world for Your glory. Father, You O Lord are in control. Your ways are far higher than ours. Help us O Lord to continue to pray for the things in this world which You care about. O Lord, the world is Yours. We render the enemy powerless in Jesus name, amen.

We pray for every single person who lives without proper food and water. The Word of the Lord says, You are the bread of life and all who come to me will never go hungry. Today, we pray we would all turn to You. We pray we would help the helpless. Help them find the bread of life. In Your mighty hands and in your mighty power, is a Lord of love. Today, we pray for Your overwhelming love to consume our hearts. Fill our hearts with Your love so we can love too. In the name of Jesus we pray for evil hands to be removed. We pray for those who would stand in the gap so the poor will have a chance to see and walk into their destiny. Father every child rich or poor has this in common, You are our Father. You have a plan and a purpose. Today, we pray to reveal this purpose. Amen.
