Let’s Pray For Learning Disability
Pray for families caring for children or adults with a learning disability with all the demands and challenges this brings into the home. Give thanks for special schools, adult centres, training units and supported employment schemes provided by government bodies and learning disability charities. Pray for teachers, learning support assistants and school workers, care workers and everyone involved in the provision of these kinds of services. Media & journalists Pray for everyone involved in bringing us the news each day, especially those reporting from places of conflict and danger. Pray that they would be able to discern truth, highlight injustice, and provide a voice for the voiceless. |
