DAY TEN: Asylum seekers, Refugees, Immigrants.

Isaiah 16:3-5

Give us counsel, render a decision. Make your shadow like night- at high noon. Hide fugitives, do not betray refugees.

Let the Moabite fugitives stay with you; be their shelter from the destroyer.

The oppressor will come to an end, and destruction will cease; the aggressor will vanish from the land. In love a throne will be established, in faithfulness a man will sit on it- one who in judging seeks justice and speeds the cause of righteousness.

• Pray for all asylum seekers who are genuinely fleeing terrible situations in their home countries. Pray that your neighbours will have a generous heart towards those in need or to new immigrants living nearby.
• Pray for harmony between different faith groups in your neighbourhood.
• Pray that GOD will improve your own attitude towards people from different cultures.

PRAYER CHALLENGE: Could your family invite a family living nearby from another culture round for dinner or could a group of you get together to host a dinner?

Or support a local charity helping asylum seekers in your village, town or city.
