The Bible tells me that you are the God of the fatherless and of the widow.
While I am not either of these, I am a single parent.
It comforts me that you take special note of my station in life and the challenges I face.
You know the limitations I have and the difficulties facing me.

Be my guardian and protector.
Provide me with my daily bread.
Open doors for me so that I will be able to find meaningful and gainful employment.
Watch over my child when I am unable to be with him or her.
Soothe me when I am troubled.
Take the burdens of my heart and make them your own.

Give me rest from my fears.
Help me to take time to read your word a few minutes every day.
Help me to find a good church home where your word is taught.
Support me and let your angels watch over me.
I trust in your unfailing love.

Amen.
