Prayer to End
Trafficking
Submitted by Michael Bloedorn
Loving Father,
We seek your divine protection
for all who are exploited and enslaved.
For those forced into labor, trafficked
into sexual slavery, and denied freedom.
We beseech you to release them
from their chains.
Grant them protection, safety, and empowerment.
Restore their dignity
and provide them a new beginning.
Show us how we might end exploitation
by addressing their causes.
Help us reach out in support of victims
and survivors of human trafficking.
Make us instruments of your spirit
for their liberation.
For this we pray through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen
