Lord Jesus, God, brother, healer, hope of the world. I pray for all those who are seeking asylum. No matter what the reason, no matter who they are. Those who are political, religious or emotional refugees from their home, how can I not cry out on their behalf. There are so many kinds of homelessness in the world Lord, and my heart breaks for all those who cannot find sanctuary, sabbath and peace. How can we do better? How can we find space for the sanctuary, sabbath and peace? How can we open our doors to those who have nowhere else to go? How? Lend us your Holy Spirit so we may build places of safety for all of your children to go home to…every single one.
Amen
