Heavenly Father, you know so much more than we do about the
complications surrounding the United States-Mexico border issues. You have infinite
wisdom and know exactly what is best. We, frail humans who tend to focus on our
own needs before others' needs, do not know what is best. We seek answers, we make
attempts, we formulate opinions, we pray for the best. There are so many things
to pray about, but today we focus on the migrant shelter declared unsanitary in
Tijuana. First, we thank you that the shelter has been closed and that the
unhealthy conditions were acknowledged. Second, we are grateful there is
another place for people to go–a place with a roof and a dry floor. We pray
for the relocation of migrants depending on this shelter to go smoothly. We
pray for conditions to remain safe and healthy within the new building. And,
Lord, we do pray for the needs of those who have sought shelter in Tijuana and
who hope for asylum in the US. You see their hearts and know their situations.
Please meet with them, grant them hope, guide them to what is best for their
futures. We also ask for grace and wisdom for all leaders involved in this situation—on
both sides of the border. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
