It's truly international.
Everyone had a right to seek safety and be treated with dignity.
Jesus was a refugee - He fled to Egypt with his mum and dad because King Herod sought to kill him. When it was safe for him to go back, he returned. But some refugees don't ever go back to their homelands and are stuck in refugee camps for years and years.
Because of deteriorating conditions in their homelands, many choose to emigrate, but many are forced to flee because of war. They may have nothing but the clothes on their backs. Let us spare thoughts for the refugees in our own lands , pray for all asylum seekers they have somewhere safe to go, and help where and when we can.
Please also pray for women fleeing unsafe relationships, they find anonymous women's refuges because if they go back, their partners threaten to kill them. There are things you can do to help and ways to bless those in this situation. They need our kindness now in a scary world.
