Good morning Friend,

As we pray as a group for this nation, may our prayer include to pray for the people who have no voice. The people who clean the houses of the wealthy. All the men who are trying to make a living to sustain their families abroad. My heart breaks to see how immigrants go through so much unfairness. I come from an immigrant family, I know first hand how it feels to be discriminated and people taking advantage of your parents. Opportunities are limited even when you gain the citizenship, you are still an unwanted minority.
We who had better chance to develop/educate ourselves(through God's grace) should go out and help those who are struggling to find the way and show them how they too can find the same opportunities as we did. If we as a faithful church, would take our place in the community, more people would feel loved and valued. They would see that with God nothing is impossible. If he did a miracle for us, He surely cares to do it for others.

⁷ But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare. ⁸ For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets and your diviners who are among you deceive you, and do not listen to the dreams that they dream, ⁹ for it is a lie that they are prophesying to you in my name; I did not send them, declares the Lord.  Jeremiah 29:7-9
