Almighty God of creation and liberation, we send up fervent prayers for all those who are abused and enslaved around the world – most especially the women and children caught in the web of the sex trafficking trade. We lift up their physical and emotional suffering to you, merciful Lord, and ask you to give them strength and courage in bearing their present circumstances.
As your servants in ministry, we ask for wisdom and skills to work to overcome their desperate plights wherever we encounter the need, so we can help to bring each woman and child to a life free from abuse and exploitation. We ask this in the name of your most beloved Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ.
AMEN
