A Prayer for Refugees & Migrants
God, no-one is a stranger to you
and no one is ever far from your
loving care.
In your kindness watch over migrants, refugees and asylum
seekers, those separated from their
loved ones, those who are lost
and those who have been exiled
from their homes.
Bring them safely to the place
where they long to be, and help us
always to show your kindness to
strangers and those in need.
We ask this through Christ our
Lord, who too was a refugee
and migrant, who travelled to
another land searching for a home.
Amen.
