10 Prayers for Single Parents

It is our first “10 Prayers Tuesday”. If you missed my post from yesterday, we have a new summer schedule, Summer in the Secret Place, that you might wish to check out at Prayer in Every City. This summer we will be studying the book of 1 John and making Family Photo Prayer Journals. Even if you are not the crafty type, I promise that these journals are simple to make. Just read the instructions on how to make the Family Photo Prayer Journal, but most importantly establish a quiet time with the Lord. Today’s post is for Single Parents. Even if you are married, please consider printing this out and praying for a single parent whom you know. With the divorce rate in America at 50%, we have many single parents who need prayer.

We are arranging our Prayer Journals according to the Lord’s Prayer. You will file this under the DAILY tab. Keep in mind that the pronouns in the Lord’s Prayer are plural so we should pray for our own family as well as others.
