Gracious God, so many of your children are alone in this world.  They face each day and night with the aching knowledge that they have no one else, and wonder if anyone will remember them after they're gone.  I pray that your great love will comfort the hearts of those with no helper, no advocate.  Assure them of their worth and fill them with the peace that only you can give.  I ask this for the sake of your love.  Amen.
