A Prayer for the Immigrant
God of the journey, God of the traveler,
We pray for those who leave their homes
in search of new beginnings and possibilities,
may they know your presence with them.
We pray that those who seek to make a home
in this country may find us welcoming
and willing to help them find a path toward citizenship,
We pray that our legislators,
as they craft new immigration legislation
may find the wisdom and courage to enact new policies
that do justice for our country
and for those who would immigrate here.
We pray for those who fan the flames of fear
and discrimination against the undocumented
may be touched with your divine compassion.
We pray in Jesus' name.
Amen.
