Context: Today’s prayer arrived a couple of days after last week’s three linked blogs, but to my surprise, it continues the series, so I’m including it as a bonus prayer!
He gives the childless woman a family,
making her a happy mother (Psalm 113:9; NLT).
1. None of us is childless, Lord,
Each child belongs to all.
2. None of us, forgotten, Lord,
You hear us when we call.
3. None of us, forsaken, Lord,
You help us when we fall –
4. You love, and live in, everyone,
Though we are frail and small.
Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us.
(Colossians 3:11; NLT).
God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
(John 3:16; NLT).
