Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. (Galatians 6:1)
Redeeming Father,
Give these children a heart for the lost and struggling, for those who have lost their way and who feel hopeless because of their circumstances. May they approach these people with compassion and humility realizing that such could be the condition of any of us given circumstances and upbringing.
At the same time, give them wisdom to understand that they are susceptible of being drawn into the very temptation from which they are attempting to save others. True that Jesus associated with drunks, prostitutes and other "sinners", but He is God, your Son. These children are not so strong. Give them the wisdom to work in teams and to accept accountability from others so that they can be in the world, as your ambassador, but not drawn in to become "of the world".
Amen
