How to Pray for Orphans

1. Pray that they would believe and accept that they are loved by God.

2. Pray that they would receive Jesus as Lord and Saviour.

3. Pray for their healing - physical, mental, emotional, pschological.

4. Pray that they would be a part of a loving forever family.

5. Pray that they would see themselves as God sees them.

6. Pray that they would not call themselves what abusers have called them.

7. Pray that they would be able to forgive all who have hurt them.

8. Pray that they would understand who to trust and who not to trust.

9. Pray that any anger about their past will be used to help others.

10. Pray for their protection.
