But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.  2 Thessalonians 3:3 NET

Lord, we pray for children around the world who don’t have the same privileges as so many do. The children who also need prayer for Your protection, who may be growing up without hope. Protect them, Father. May they see Your goodness too, even though circumstances are difficult. May they rest in the peace that they are loved by You. Even when they are surrounded by despair—rough neighborhoods, drugs, sex trafficking, war, crimes—may You be their shelter. Please provide a healthy community and a safe haven for them to turn to in times of trouble. We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray deliverance, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
