JOIN ME TODAY IN PRAYING FOR THE ORPHANS!  YOU ARE WELCOME TO USE THE GUIDE BELOW.

9:00
Pray that the Lord would give you a personal sense of responsibility for the next 3 days (and beyond) for praying for orphans, your pastor, your church, and your community.  Ask Him to break your heart for the orphans.  Ask that He would help you to see orphans with His eyes and His heart.  Ask Him to use this 3 day to change you and your church.

10:00
Ask God that of the 2 billion Christians in the world, 7% would show hope to a single orphan, looking after the child in their distress.  Ask the Lord to convict the church around the world that if we did this, there would effectively be no more orphans.  Ask the Lord to show each of His followers that we can each do something.

11:00
Pray for your pastor to have guidance and provision as he seeks to follow the Lord's command to care for the orphans.

12:00
Ask the Lord to help your church and family to feel His heart for the orphans as seen in Ps. 68:5-6 "A Father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.  God sets the lonely in families...."

1:00
Pray for the fatherless in your community.  Ask the Lord to protect them and to care for them and to defend them and keep them safe.

2:00
Thank the Lord in advance for all that He is going to do to bring glory to His name in your church, family and community.  Thank Him for the care He is going to provide for the orphans.

3:00
Pray for the Lord to raise up workers for the harvest.  Ask Him to call Christians to go to the "fields of the fatherless" to experience the joy of caring for orphans as we are commanded in Is. 1:16-17 "Give up your wicked ways.  Learn to do good.  Seek justice.  Help the oppressed.  Defend the orphan.  Fight for the rights of widows."

4:00
Pray that God would break the hearts of believers with the plight of orphans.  Ask that He would convict them to lead their churches to pray, go and love in Jesus' name.

5:00
Ask the Father to set the lonely in families.  Pray specifically for families in your community who may be in the process of adopting or fostering an orphan.  Ask for God's provision for all of their needs:  physical, emotional and spiritual.

6:00
Pray specifically for any orphans you may know by name.  Pray for their health and safety.  Pray for their shelter.  Pray that they will be brought into loving families who will provide for their education.
