Prayers are powerful!
That is why we are asking you to pray for our youths through our Prayers of Hope initiative. The youths at the Home have many prayer requests and need the love and support from our staff and from friends of the Home.
Here is how our Prayers of Hope work: At the bottom of this page, there is a form for you to place your email. On the third Thursday of each month, prayer requests from our youths will be emailed to you.
Below is our most recent monthly Prayers of Hope.
October 2026
Dear Friends,
Thank you for lifting up the youths at Indiana United Methodist Children’s Home in prayer. The Bible tells us about the power of prayer. Philippians 4:6 says, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
For privacy reasons, we have changed the names in each prayer…but God knows exactly who they are and what they need!
“As for me, I call to God…and he hears my voice.” Psalm 55:16-17
God, Andi is praying for help putting her anger aside and focusing on her relationship with her grandma. She is thankful for her time at the Children’s Home and for the love and encouragement she has received. Andi prays that she continues to find peace through her relationship with Jesus. In Your name we pray, Amen.
Loving God, John is praying for his mother with ALS, and that she may find comfort knowing Jesus is with her. May John find true peace for himself as he continues to deepen his relationship with Jesus. In Your name we pray, Amen.
God, Amy prays for her family and for the tough time they are going through. She prays for herself asking for help getting through everything that is going on in her life. She prays that she continues to do well and will be able to go home soon. God she is grateful for all the things you have done for her. In Your name we pray, Amen.
Thank you for praying for our youths.
