Prayer of the Day: Immigrants (Lev. 19:33-34)

God of the sojourner, the immigrant, the foreigner, may we show your welcome to these weary travelers just as you welcomed us. May we speak boldly against oppression of the immigrants among us, loving them as ourselves, for it is what you would have us do. We pray for courage and conviction for ourselves as well as our political leaders, that we all might stand firmly on the side of those who are unjustly marginalized, repressed, and scapegoated, defending the image of God in every human being. Amen.
