Lord, today we pray for the hundreds of thousands of
refugees crossing the Mediterranean Sea by boat. Lord, it is hard to imagine
the desperation that would drive families to risk their lives crossing the sea
in unworthy vessels. It is distressing to hear how much money the refugees are
paying, and how they are mistreated at holding points. Lord, protect them. Help
them find another means of transportation. Help them find places where they
will be welcome and safe. Give those monitoring the sea efficiency so they can
rescue people as quickly as possible, in order that the thousands of deaths per
year will diminish drastically and quickly. And, Lord, please bring resolution
to the wars and devastation that are driving these people from their homelands in
the first place, so these wild risks will not be taken at all. We place our trust
and hope in you. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
