Good Morning, God,
The headlines this week are sadly staggering: 884 people arrested in a child prostitution sweep across the United States. The very good news is that 69 children were recovered. The additional good news is that 99 pimps were arrested. The federal sweep involved 40 cities nationwide, and possibly saw children being taken in Michigan, crossing Indiana and ending up in Tennessee. The authorities have said, Lord, that "child prostitution continues to be a significant problem in our country" and "there is no work more important than protecting America's children and freeing them from the cycle of victimization".
Lord, parent God, please use your deep love and great protective power to keep our children safe. May our children enjoy the pure innocence of childhood, the deep love of doting parents, the joy of laughter and fun with friends and the protection of each and every one of us. Lord, may our children be able to be as innocent as the lambs they are.
In Jesus name, Amen.
