DAY 8: Thursday, October 8
TOPIC: Protection for our Children
SCRIPTURE: “Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.” Proverbs 22:6
OBSERVATION: This beautiful time of year, trees begin to shed their branches of many acorns. Have you noticed how God has prepared a place for them on the ground? Fertile soil, moisture and cushioning leaves! He plans for deep roots to develop long before that acorn becomes a tall strong oak tree. In the same way, God plants children in families to nurture, protect and build a foundation to support the adults they will become.
PRAYER: Lord, help us to show your love to children by example, using the truth of your Word, encouragement and prayer. Be present with each family in our community, and help them to entrust their children to your care.
Thank you for joining in prayer with your neighbors across El Dorado and Union County, Arkansas for the 2026 40 Days of Prayer. Please continue to pray for blessings and unity for our community.
We are so grateful for your partnership in God’s Kingdom work. May you and yours be blessed.
