Loving God,
We pray for the world’s refugees.
We give you thanks for their courage and resilience.
We know that many have experienced trauma and loss.
Loving God, bring them healing.
As they endure and persist,
Loving God, bring them strength.
In the face of uncertainty and doubt.
Loving God, bring them hope.
For those rebuilding new lives in foreign lands,
Loving God, bring them joy.
We think of the countries from which they come.
Loving God, bring them peace.
Lord God, may we love as you love.
May we not be wearied by the sorrow, tragedy, and loss around us, but rather, may we become vehicles of your peace. May we work with you to sow healing, hope, joy, and strength so that we may be a light to our refugee brothers and sisters.
Amen.
