NCCW Prayer to End Human Trafficking
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come to you today asking for your help with abolishing human trafficking.
We ask you to rescue those who are trafficked and are slaves and bring them to safety without more harm. Help them to receive the proper guidance, counseling, shelter and healing that is needed for them to overcome this violent act that was placed upon them.
We pray for the families and friends of those trafficked that they may receive the grace and strength required to persevere as they agonize over the loss of their missing loved ones and that You grant them the joy of welcoming them home.
We pray for those who rescue and rehabilitate the victims of human trafficking that they work with success, compassion, mercy and support from their communities.
We pray for just laws that prosecute the trafficker and the purchaser, and not the persons trafficked.
Grant Your wisdom to legislators, law enforcement, and courts around the world that they bring this horrific practice to an end.
We pray for a world where there is no need for an impoverished family to send a child into a trafficking situation; no need for a troubled youth to leave home and fall victim to trafficking; and no need for persons to be tricked or sold into sex or labor trafficking.
We also pray for the traffickers, that they will stop these evil acts upon innocent lives.
God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, be our protector. Grant us the courage, strength, and ability to fight successfully to end the scourge of human trafficking.
Amen.
