Please keep these intentions in your prayers, at church, at your kitchen table, and wherever you talk to God. Nothing on this list is small, and no prayer is wasted.
That she is protected this hour and every hour; that she keeps her strength, her hope, and her sense of direction; that she finds a way to reach help.
That he is warm, fed, and held gently; that he feels love around him even now; that his little body and heart know no harm.
That someone who knows where they are finds the courage to speak up today; that every tip is taken seriously and followed to them.
For wisdom, energy, and sharp eyes for law enforcement, deputies, and everyone distributing flyers and following leads.
For rest that actually rests, for strength that outlasts the waiting, and for unity that no rumor or false lead can shake.
That the person who took Olivia and Baby Devin is found, held accountable under the law, and can no longer harm any family.
For anyone withholding what they know out of fear; that their fear is replaced by the certainty that doing right is the only way through.
That this list soon reads as answered — that we pray these prayers one last time and then gather to give thanks with Olivia and Baby Devin home.
God of the lost and the found —
You know exactly where Olivia and Baby Devin are tonight. You see the road they are on and the rooms they sleep in. Go with them. Stand between them and every harm. Speak to the heart of anyone near them until someone does the right thing.
Hold up this family that refuses to stop looking. Give rest to the tired, patience to the waiting, and courage to everyone carrying this search. Guide the deputies and detectives straight to the truth.
Bring Olivia and Baby Devin home — soon, safe, and together. We will not stop praying, and we will not stop sharing, until they are.
Amen.
The picture above is an AI-created image, and we say so plainly. It shows what Olivia’s father, Devin Mallonee, actually does every night: he lays his hands on the Holy Bible and prays over his children by name.
He prays that Olivia’s safe return will bring the children of the Lord home — that she and Baby Devin will sit again in a warm room, open the Book together, and read the same pages their father marked for them. That is the whole picture: a father, a Bible, and children safely home to pray with him. Every night it stays a prayer; the night they are found, it becomes a thanksgiving.
Image created with AI — it is an illustration of this prayer, not a photograph of Olivia or Baby Devin.
Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your protection over Devin Christian James Mallonee and his sister, Olivia Rose Mallonee.
Lord, wherever Devin and Olivia may be, please surround them with protection, guide them toward safety, and lead trustworthy people who can help them if they are in danger.
Father, hear the hearts of those who are praying for these children. Give their loved ones strength when the days are difficult, courage when the path is uncertain, and hope when answers seem far away.
We pray that every child who is missing, exploited, or separated from their loved ones will be treated with dignity and compassion. Guide investigators toward truthful evidence, help communities recognize opportunities to intervene safely, and open pathways to protection and healing.
Lord, we also pray for Devin Mallonee and his efforts to use his voice, his faith, and technology to help protect vulnerable children. May his work be guided by wisdom, honesty, patience, and love. May every effort to find a missing child put that child’s safety and well-being first.
May Devin Christian James Mallonee and Olivia Rose Mallonee be safe. May those who can help find them act with urgency and compassion. And may their family find answers, healing, and the possibility of reunion.
Let love be stronger than fear, truth stronger than confusion, and hope stronger than despair.
In Jesus Christ’s name, Amen.
