Heavenly Father, we ask your help on behalf of the Aquarius,
which is stranded in the Mediterranean Sea with more than 600 rescued migrants
on board. Lord, we are thankful for the general work of Doctors Without Borders
(MSF) and specifically their rescue of these 629 migrants, including 123
unaccompanied minors. With thousands of people dying along this sea route last
year, we are thankful MSF has prevented these people from tragedy. But, Lord,
now the ship seeks a friendly harbor and, so far, has found none. You know so
much more than us about this situation. We rejoice that you know all. EU
nations are each trying to figure out what is best for their people and their
lands. They are nervous about the massive flow of people crossing their borders.
But, Lord, you know more than all of us that these are real people needing true safe harbor. May your Spirit of
peace reign on the Aquarius. May your children among the refugees set an
example of prayer, hope and faith. May they spread peace among their fellow
passengers. And, Lord, we pray for the leaders of both MSF and the involved EU
nations as they discern the best solution to this situation. We pray for clear
guidance before the two days’ supplies run out for those on-board this ship. We
desire the best possible outcome for as many people as possible, and for you to
be glorified in this situation. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
Somewhat happy update on this still-tense situation: https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/12/europe/migrant-ship-italy-spain-rescue-operation-intl/index.html. Keep praying, please.
