God of love and justice,
protect immigrants, refugees,
and LGBTQIA+ siblings
from harm, fear, and oppression.

Surround them with safety,
hope, and community.
Shelter families fleeing violence,
guide children walking alone.

Strengthen those who defend the vulnerable,
who speak truth to power,
and open hearts to radical inclusion.
May our words and actions reflect courage and compassion.

Teach us to dismantle systems of hate,
to stand with the stranger, the marginalized,
the oppressed, and the lonely.
May we honor Jesus in every life at risk,
For a just world for all
Amen
