Policy and Prayer: Immigration Crisis

God created borders as part of His plan for the nations . Father we ask You to intercede on behalf of Brave men and women of ICE. We appreciate our Law enforcement! God 's Ministers for good.

Father I come before you in humble distress. The spirit of rebellion has hold upon this nation. From traffic signs, speed limits, to common courtesies we have lost our way. We have allowed non-sense to be taught instead of sense and thought. Short cut, untrue copy, vague and worthless terms, flow from our nations capitols. Foolishness of endless borrowing of money. Show us Father the true and righteous way, by your great glory and honor shine down upon this land that no falsehood may stand, no lie not leave a lasting stain. We cry for the former rain to come, soften the ground and the hearts of mankind. It is time the strongman be bound, the captives loosed, and the drought ended. Humbly we come in prayerfull repentance for what we have become. Amen Amen

God of mercy and justice, We come to You with heavy hearts for every person caught in the immigration crisis--families separated, children afraid, and parents carrying impossible choices. Draw near to those walking through deserts, waiting at borders, sitting in detention, or starting over in unfamiliar places. Protect them from harm, exploitation, and despair. Provide shelter, safe passage, food, and compassionate helpers at the right moment. Lord, soften the hearts of leaders and communities. Give wisdom to those writing and enforcing laws, courage to choose what is right, and humility to listen well. Help nations build policies that are both lawful and humane--truthful about security, and tender toward the vulnerable. Break down prejudice, fear, and dehumanizing language, and replace it with dignity, empathy, and respect. Strengthen the hands of those serving on the front lines--advocates, social workers, volunteers, churches, legal teams, and first responders. Provide resources for overwhelmed communities and comfort for those grieving loss. Heal trauma, restore hope, and open doors for reunification, stability, and new beginnings. Teach us, too, how to love our neighbors in practical ways. Show us what we can do today--pray, give, welcome, speak with grace, and act with courage. Make us peacemakers, protectors of children, and builders of bridges. We ask this in faith, trusting You to bring light into the darkest places. We pray for Trump as he makes our borders safe for all. Pray lord for all those cleaning up our streets, no weapon formed shall befall on them. Amen.
