Lord, we are concerned for the 10-12 million Roma who live
in central and Eastern Europe. With their higher level of poverty, more crowded
conditions, lack of access to sanitation and healthcare services, and more
frequent travel, they are at greater risk of contracting and spreading
COVID-19. Topping off this higher risk, their livelihood has also been stymied
by the quarantine requirements, and they are facing more prejudice than usual. Heavenly
Father, we ask for your intervention. We pray that those governments that are
sealing off Roma communities as higher risk will also provide assistance. We
pray for temporary sanitation stations, distribution of helpful information,
and access to healthcare. We pray churches will see Romani needs and seek to
meet them, bringing hope and help into these communities however is best. Lord,
please do a great work among the Roma during this particularly perilous time.
In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
