May Your wrath come upon those who lure widows in Your name for evil ways and add grief to their sorrow-filled heart. In the pretext of caring and loving, they make use of these widows for their own personal gain and pleasures. Lord Jesus Christ, guard these widows from the evil men and their deceit in lust for flesh. “If you afflict him at all, and if he does cry out to Me, I will surely hear his cry May they grow in love for You Lord and each other in an bond of marriage and sacrifice for each other, the things that could make them closer, and deeper in a lifetime of love.Įxodus 22 : 22 – 23 “You shall not afflict any widow or orphan. Help them with someone who will truly love, care and provide for her and her children as their own. Help them, O Lord we pray, with discernment and judgement to chose right. Lord Jesus, we pray for widows who seek a life partner and have children to care for. May they be comforted that in You alone is a peace so deep and real and in You an everlasting love that lives through all ages. In times, they need someone to speak their hearts out and someone to love hear their hearts, O Lord Jesus, and enfold them in Your Love. Grant them Lord, a spirit of patience to persevere through their daily toils and disappointments of life. May they lift up all their cares, and place all their hopes, in You as, in fervent prayer, they come. May their love for You, and their love for family and duty, be their utmost importance. Strengthen them, Lord, in Your power and wisdom to lean on You and persevere in their calling. Torn between their own lives and the responsibilities of family, may they in You ever abide. Lord Jesus Christ, we call upon Your blessed name and seek Your intercession as we lift up all widows in our prayers. Let the bond of love which You have for Your people be the foundation of their hope that love never ends and that precious moments with their beloved are forever held dear in their hearts.ġ Timothy 5:5 The widow who is really in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day to pray and to ask God for help. But the widow who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives. Renew them with the joy of life and bring to an end their days of mourning. Bless them and bring an end to their days of sorrow. Comfort them and bring an end to the days of tears. The nights are lonely and the days are too long. Most loving and gracious God, You know the pain and sorrow of death, mercifully hear our prayers for those who mourn the death of their beloved. In this unique comparative study of widows' welfare and family economy, Jay Kleinberg examines the role of children in society and the development of social welfare policy for widows.Proverbs 15:25 The Lord will tear down the house of the proud, but He will establish the boundary of the widow. In the border city of Baltimore, which had a large African American population and a diverse economy that relied on inexpensive child and female labor, funds for public services were limited, and African Americans tended to establish their own charitable institutions. In Pittsburgh, where few jobs were available for women or children-and where jobs for men were in "widowmaking" industries such as steel and railroading-the city's charitable establishments were more sympathetic. _x000B_In Fall River, Massachusetts, employment was regarded as the solution to widows' poverty, so public charitable expenditure was drastically limited. Widows and Orphans First investigates the importance of local economies and values in the origins of the welfare state through an exploration of widows' lives in three industrial American cities with widely differing economic, ethnic, and racial bases.
