A prayer from ‘All we Can’ at the start of Refugee week.
God, Creator of all, For people who are displaced; may they find a safe refuge.
For people who have lost control of their lives; may they know a sure foundation.
For people who live in fear; may they be given a strong fortress.
For people who are disillusioned; may they have hope in a future.
Loving Father, in times of crisis, sorrow and uncertainty; we ask that you draw near. Amen.
