Righteous God, forgive me for too
often feeling like I deserve the
blessings you have given me. Remind
me that you love all children, even
those who seem forgotten in today’s
harsh world. Remind me that my
peace and security is a gift from
you. Amen.



Dec. 18 is International Migrants Day. This prayer is from "Strangers Among Us: An Advent Devotional 2010," by Larry Jent, produced by the Virginia Conference Immigration Work Group.
