This week, as part of #FosterCareFortnight, we pray for children and young people in foster care and all those who help to ensure they experience the welcome, stability, and care they need to thrive.
God of compassion, we lift up the vulnerable children and young people in our community and pray that they would know love, comfort and peace. We thank you for those who are welcoming and caring for them, and pray that you would give them wisdom and strength. For social workers and supporting staff, grant them insight and compassion in all they do. Together, may we be a community where every child feels safe, seen, and loved. Amen.
Every 15 minutes, a child comes into care in the UK. Home for Good is a Christian charity working closely with WSCC’s Fostering West Sussex service, supporting local families and equipping churches to support foster families.
