A Prayer for Family Far Away
Lord, there is no place on earth where you are not present. My loved ones are now scattered, from Yemen to lands far from home. The distance hurts me, but I know that your hand reaches where mine cannot, and that even in the uttermost parts of the sea your hand shall lead them and your right hand shall hold them. Be with them now. Keep them on their way, meet their needs, and let them feel that they are not forgotten. And, according to your good will, bring us together soon, in good health and in peace. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
