“Don’t let abuse be your child’s story: Make a change. End child abuse”

The Child Development Division within the Ministry of National Mobilisation, etc. will be observing the annual Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month from April 1 – 30, 2024. This is in keeping with St. Vincent and the Grenadines' commitment to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. The theme chosen for this year is “ Don’t let abuse be your child’s story: Make a change. End child abuse ” with a focus on child neglect and abandonment. This theme addresses our goals of informing parents of their tremendous power to prevent child abuse; to educate and increase awareness in homes, schools, and communities as we use positive promotional activities geared towards strengthening families and fostering a network between the Ministry, the Police and Communities. As part of the month’s activities, churches are invited to commemorate “ Blue Sundays .” This is an annual event where churches of all faiths are asked to pray for the victims of child abuse and to demonstrate

Lord! A Prayer of Supplication

Lord guide our footsteps so that we'll remain on the right path... The road gets rough and bumpy at times and other paths seem less strenuous from time to time.... Help us not to slip or slide into the wages of sin or the traps and snares that have been covered up and hidden from us.

Lord we need Your direction in our heart and mind least our soul run aground from the pounding of the overwhelming waves of life.... Help our decisions to be stable and righteous, for it is not our desire to be like a yo-yo in the hands of our adversary.

Lord keep our tongue from speaking evil and our lips from speaking guile.... in the midst of anger, temper flares up and who knows the agitation that pushes scorn to burn an entire field to the ground... Help us to bridle this member and to saddle it in place with Your words.

Lord we need you to dwell in us each day.. make a home of constant habitation from the corners of our life to the depths of our being... because a day without You is a flat day. One that is boring and lonely without Your voice, Your touch, Your warmth of love, joy and peace.

Lord! Our Lord Jesus Christ forever!
