Pray in May

For children in our community to know they are loved by God and understand that He desires to be in relationship with them.

That children in foster care would experience belonging in a foster family, church community, or group of friends within our community.

That God would lead them as they work through hurt they have experienced in their past and in their present.

For biological parents to have strength to face their circumstances and keep the best interests of their children in mind.

For the relationships between biological parents, foster parents, and the foster care system; that biological parents feel heard and that others are able to extend compassion.

That churches in our community learn how to support biological families and equip them for reunification with their children.

For potential foster and adoptive parents to listen to the Lord’s direction as they consider fostering or adopting.

For endurance and for strength for foster parents as they invite children into their families.

That adoptive parents would seek Biblical wisdom and the advice of other adoptive parents as they walk with their children through healing.

For churches in our community to come around these parents while encouraging and supporting their needs.

For these youth to have the resources necessary to survive and to thrive as an adult living on their own.

For youth to have a support system of adults in our community who will guide them through the process of aging out.

For God to reveal ways for our church to tangibly support children who must age out of the foster care system.
