    Safety Bear

    I love children who are afraid, hurt and neglected. I am here to tell them God loves them and my friend is praying for them.

  • Every day children who should be nurtured, loved and cared for, are afraid, hurt and neglected, sadly by those they trust. Often that's all they know.

  • Words can break their hearts, bruise their spirits, and leave them confused and sad. They try to hide or get away, but they can't because they are children.

  • Words of abuse are usually followed by acts of abuse.

    Daily Prayer

    Loving Heavenly Father, One of the first songs children learn is "Jesus Loves Me". As the second line says "this I know" may they know that to be true today. We also pray for fresh faith and new belief to be placed in the trustworthiness of your love and kindness for them. Human love, parental love may come with hurt and pain, we pray not, but Your love will not; it is perfect. We pray that You would surround them with Your perfect love everyday. In the Agape Name of Jesus' Amen.

    ... because God is love 1 John 4:8
