For LGBTQ+ Asylum Seekers and Refugees Who Cannot Return Home

God of safety, who draws near to the abused and the vulnerable, we pray for all LGBTQ+ forced migrants who cannot return home. Open safe pathways to asylum for these people, that they might live peacefully for the sake of their flourishing. God, help your church to build a world that is secure for every person, no matter their sexual orientation or gender identity. We know that you have made us all in your image and command us to treat each other as if we are face to face with Christ, who was himself a refugee, abused, and vulnerable to cruel powers. It is in his name that we pray. Amen.
