Dear God. . .Why don't we have food at home — or money?
These prayers like Maria's are heartbreaking. How do you comfort a child who doesn't have enough to eat? This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. Maria was abandoned by her father, leaving her family struggling to make ends meet – still, she knows enough to bring her needs to her Heavenly Father. There's a lot we can do for children like Maria. We can pray. We can also minister to them through their fathers. Encourage a dad to be the spiritual head of his household. By investing your time in a men's Bible study or accountability group, you are investing in their children. That's a cause we must never abandon. This is Wess Stafford. Be a mentor to a dad… and Speak Up With Compassion for the children in your world.
