Pray with the global church

God of Compassion and Refuge, we bring before You the Rohingya people, who face perilous journeys and uncertain futures. In these waters where so many have perished, hear the cries of the oppressed and the distressed. You are the One who stills the storm and calms the waves — let Your peace intervene where fear and desperation have ruled. Reveal Jesus to the captains who steer these vessels, to the authorities who guard the shores, and to the communities that witness such tragedies. May the light of Christ shine into hearts gripped by fear and uncertainty, bringing hope where there has been despair. Guard the lives of those at sea and bring them safely to refuge. Through the One who walked on water and commands the seas, we ask this mercy. Amen.
