Thought and Reflection

Christians in each era are called to safeguard the freedoms of the frail, support the disappointed, and protect the existence of the people who are defenseless.

This extensive call is the incredible reminder that the favors, freedoms, abundance, and power we might have isn’t our own alone; it is a gift from God to be utilized to favor those who have no ability to talk, to guard, or to protect themselves.

My Prayer

Heavenly Father, grant me a passion to protect those who are defenseless against abuse, abandonment, and to assault. Use us, and particularly Father, please use me, to be a redemptive force in the time and the circle of impact in which I live. In Jesus mighty name I pray. Amen.
