Prayer for the Day

In the times we are living, this small prayer stood out to me from my morning prayers…

O God, save us from ourselves,

from double standards

and divided hearts,

and give us light and life ,

in Jesus Christ our Lord.

From the Daily Prayer – Church of England

Stuck

This week, I received this message from one of the people I have connected with in Dzaleka Refugee Camp in Malawi.

“I still survive in Dzaleka refugee camp with my family. My prayer request to you is to help my family to leave this camp because we have many problems from home country until now.” 

A refugee camp, by nature, is to be a temporary place.  Yet, people are often displaced more than 10 years, and often 20 or more years.  If you are a praying person, would you pray for strength and comfort for those stuck in a “temporary” space and that solutions might be found.
