Read and Reflect
Scripture Reading: Genesis 12:1-4
Just as Abram was called to follow God in obedience, so are we. How is the Lord calling you to follow him in this Lenten season?
Reflection:
Have your family members count their blessings by making a list of the things they are thankful for. As your hearts overflow with gratitude for all God has done, consider how you can be a blessing to those in need.

Our Creator and Heavenly Father, we pray for all the orphans and abandoned children in this world. Father, watch over these children and bless them with your great mercy and love. Comfort them when they are lonely, feed them when they are hungry, help them be educated. Heal them when they are sick or with fever, protect them and give them a safe place to lay their heads at night, and give these children comfort and peace. In the name of Jesus our Lord. Amen.
