When a foreigner resides with you in your land, you must not oppress him. The foreigner who resides with you must be to you like a native citizen among you; so you must love him as yourself, because you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.  Leviticus 19:33-34

God, use our actions and words to ensure guests and strangers they are safe and accepted among Your people. Show us how to foster community with those whom You’ve gathered around us. We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray deliverance, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
