Prayer for Romania

Romania has undgergone an incredible amount of change since the fall of communism here in December 1989. Please join me in praying for this country or add your own prayer.

Dear Father in Heaven,
Thank you for the changes you have allowed in this country. Thank you that your church was not crushed under communism. I pray that people would not trade in their new freedoms for their dependence on you - but that they would pass on their faith in you to future generations. I pray for President Basescu, that you would give him wisdom and courage to continue fighting against the corruption that has gripped this country for so long. Keep him safe as he tries to root out those causing the problems. Provide a trustworthy staff for him to work with and be an example to leaders throughout the country.

Lord, I know you can see the plight of so many babies and children here. I claim your promises to take care of the fatherless. I pray that you would provide good homes for these children, where they will learn about how to have a relationship with You. Give these children peace in the midst of their situations. I know how these children long to be held - I pray that they would feel your arms around them as they lay in their cribs at night! Please give the staff an extraordinary tenderness and patience with the children each day.

In Jesus' name we ask these things. Amen.
