Dear prayer partner,
Imagine if the only gift you wanted to give your baby was enough food to satisfy her stomach. Moms from India to Indonesia to Indiana want to give their kids what they need to thrive. They want to see their smiles and hear their laughter.
But for moms around the world, finding the most basic items and care for their babies is a constant struggle. Even a low fever can be a huge problem if medical care is too far away or too expensive. Clean water is out of reach when the only local source is a pond where cattle drink. Rising food prices are brutal when your household only makes $3 a day.
This month, we’re praying for moms and babies who lack daily necessities because of low incomes and unstable communities. We pray that moms will receive the support they need so their precious babies can grow healthy and strong.
In December, as we remember one young mother who gave birth to a baby in a stable, let’s pray for the mom whose baby daughter cries herself to sleep at night because she’s hungry. The mother who’s so malnourished that she can’t continue to breastfeed her son.
Together, let’s lift up these moms and babies in prayer, asking God to provide for their needs. Pray for Compassion staff as they work tirelessly to support moms and babies in their communities. Ask God to be near to moms as they look to the future, that they would feel strengthened and upheld by his hand.
