A Prayer for Immigrants

People holding signs supporting immigrants and refugees at a protest with festive lights in the background.

“We seek that our government will offer kindness and compassion to the oppressed who approach our borders and to those who require refuge within.”

Erased

Crowd at a protest, holding signs. Urban street setting with old buildings in the background.

“Speaking is my right. / and until someone takes my voice, / I will continue to speak.”

Release. Return.

A vast, empty field under a bright blue sky filled with scattered fluffy clouds.

“we pray for healing the minds and hearts of those newly released…”

Prayer for Peace?

Colorful chalk drawing on pavement with the message Be Kind in pink and blue.

“Let this prayer for peace awaken us and have peace begin with us.” 

Genesis 25:8

Vast desert landscape with rocky cliffs and distant hazy horizon under a pale sky.

“The children of Abraham, / bowing their heads / to bury the past
and join hands in grief.”

Fire

“We will come together, as we always do, to make fire holy in our lives again.”

Firestorm

Abstract red and black marbled texture with fluid patterns and swirling lines.

“Embers of fire
Destroy their path / But carry / shattered vessels of holiness…”
