A Prayer for the Plight of Refugees
Our Father in heaven, may Your name be honored.
May Your kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Lord, we lift up the plight of refugees across our nation today, asking that Your will be done in their lives.
May You protect them…
May You guide them…
May You heal the wounds of their souls…
Raise up people in our nation to help them; raise up foster parents to take in refugee orphans; raise up sponsoring families and churches to support refugee families; and raise up tutors, mentors, and friends to assist refugees in their resettlement efforts.
Convince our government and the governments of other countries so that they are willing to respond both monetarily and through diplomacy to the needs of displaced people.
Assist organizations that serve these newcomers in being fair, loving, and helpful to those who are adjusting to their new home in the U.S.
And ultimately, Lord, we ask that the love of Christ would reach the masses of displaced people throughout our world…use us, O Lord, to that end, we pray.
In the precious and holy name of Jesus,
Amen
