Dear God. . .Can I pray with my eyes open? Because when I'm scared I can't close my eyes!
You most certainly can, little friend. Just remember, Jesus knows your pain, and He is always with you to help you get through the tough times. Unthika, you're a special friend of Jesus! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. There's no greater action to express love for a child than to pray for them. They need all the protection and direction they can get. Make it your daily priority. Children were made by God to grow, develop, thrive and reach their full potential. And as God's agents, his hands and his feet in a hurting world, it is our mandate to provide safe, nurturing environments for our children. And prayer is a great place to start! This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion. Pray for the children in your world.
