God help me

Heard it said today, "God helps those who help themselves".

I don't agree.

So, my prayer for today is for:

Those kidnapped into the sex traffic industry.
Every villager whose home has been destroyed by war or natural disaster.
Women raped by occupying forces.
Prisoners tortured for political aims.
The silent voice of abused children.
Parents who cannot feed their sons and daughters.
Orphans of HIV.
Mothers-to-be who had a miscarriage this week.
Workers exploited by their employers.
Those enslaved by addiction.
Me to get off my backside and make a difference…somehow.
God help me to help those who can't help themselves.
Amen.
