Prayer for Migrants

"Eternal God,  today more and more people are fleeing to another country in order to find a safe place to live.  There are those fleeing from violence, persecution, and war.   Many people are putting their lives at risk by their mode of travel.  May you help them to have a safe passage as they attempt to move to another country.

We would remember that Jesus himself as an infant became a refugee.  He knew early on of the hardship of travel as he was led by his parents to a safe place.  There were those who had to welcome the holy family.

May you help today the receiving governments and agencies in those countries in dealing with the influx of such individuals.  May people open their hearts to respond in a loving way to help provide resources for them. Amen."

Note:  The world is beholding a huge humanitarian crisis.  If we value the dignity of each person as God values each person, we will do what we can to help and support them.  Above all, we can also pray for them.
