Father, today we lift up the many children in Bangalore to You. We know that some families are very poor and see children as a financial burden too heavy for them. God we ask you to make Psalm 127: 3-5 (NLT) a reality for them. May they see their children as a gift from you. May those who have many children be full of joy and not know shame. God please give each child in Bangalore an opportunity to know You. Save them and their families! In Jesus name, we ask. Amen.
