Father, Hebrews 13:3 immediately comes to mind. Oh how You loved the children, dear Jesus, and continue to do so. Our hearts go out in compassion
to those suffering various forms of pain, affliction, torment, and persecution.
May You speak to the hearts of these dear children directly, or through some human servant, and assure them of Your love and desire to save their souls,
adopt them into Your family, and provide for them and bless them. May You
bring physical and spiritual blessings to these children, and strengthen and build them up in You. May they be victorious in heart and spirit over persecution
and the other evils in this world, as You minister to them, bringing them to greatly worship You, who are so much better than any god, idol, or material thing on earth, of those things that are both visible and invisible. Amen.
