Day 11: Children in the LRA

The focus today is on children who are forced into the military - specifically those in the Lord's Resistance Army.  If you don't know much about this, check out the "Learn More" page (about half way down).

• Pray that the war would be stopped - that the governments of the countries the LRA is in would put their foot down and do what it takes to stop all the violence.
• Pray for the safety of the children who are not in it - that they would be protected from its violence and from getting forced into it.
• Pray for safety and protection for the children in the LRA - not only physical protection, but emotional and mental as well.  (Just think of the trauma experienced by grown men and women in war and imagine what it would be like for a child!)
• Pray that they would be able to escape.
• Pray for the children who have escaped or been rescued.  Pray for their emotional, mental and physical healing.
• Pray also that these children would have a chance to learn about the love of God for them and would be healed spiritually.
