West Chester School District

Tags : 

Dear Father,

Students from broken homes and dysfunctional families are attending schools all over the US.  Many of these students are on a path towards self-destruction or hurting others.  Many students are contemplating suicide.

We ask that you bless the teachers of the West Chester Area School District in Chester County Pennsylvania with opportunities to intervene and save children from ending or ruining their lives.  Lord, we ask that the teachers will have insight and awareness of children in crisis, that they will have compassion, and that they will have the skill and determination to see those children land in a place of safety.  We ask that, thanks to the work of teachers in this school district, children on the path towards addiction, crime, or life dysfunction will turn into students with a passion to do good in their careers and help others in need.

Vigial for families who have lost loved ones to suicide vigil in Media, PA, September 10, 2014

Dear Father,

Over 10 years ago I considered taking my life.  As you know, I gave it enough consideration to lead me to a weekend stay in the hospital.

On Wednesday, September 10, I attended a vigil for the survivors of suicide, hosted by Survivors of Suicide (SOS).  The tears and sobbing of those left behind was certainly a reminder that I never want to consider taking my life again.  The pain of the surviving loved ones is awful.

We ask you for the following blessings on this charity:

  • You will help the leaders of SOS learn from their adversity and then enjoy victory over the adversities they face.
  • You will direct, empower, and resource SOS to help the leaders achieve excellence in what they do.
  • You will bring those who have lost hope to SOS to be blessed by their excellence.
  • You will transform and bless the lives of those who reach out to SOS for help.
  • Those whose lives are transformed by your work through SOS will share their stories so others in need can be comforted.

God, please stop one person this hour from committing suicide, somewhere across the country, but especially in Delaware County, the home of SOS.

Dear Father,

There are so many women who are broken throughout the US.  They have such important roles – mothers, daughters, sisters, employees, neighbors, volunteers, and leaders.  Women are often the glue that holds organizations together and they often challenge the men to be the best they can be.  When a woman’s life is broken, the institutions she contributes to suffer.  We ask that you bring restoration and healing to women around the country who are dealing with addiction, depression, trauma, and eating disorders.
