Prayer for Migrants
• Merciful and loving Father, you provided for your people Israel in their
exodus from slavery a promised land that you established for them, and in
Jesus Christ you provide welcome refuge for all in need. We ask for your
divine protection for all migrants who have left their homes in search of
new opportunity in another land. For refugees, who are forced from their
homes due to threats of violence, we beseech you to provide them a safe
haven. For migrants trafficked into slavery, grant them rescue, healing,
and the strength to start again. For immigrants, who so often leave their
family and friends behind, grant them a better life and greater opportunity
elsewhere. We pray in particular for your protection over migrant children
who are vulnerable to exploitation and abuse at the hands of others. We
implore you to grant all migrants your protection and lead them to a place
of safety. Be with all those in need with your power to save. Through our
Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of
the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
