Lord, I am worried for the 2000 refugees from Syria that our Province of Manitoba is adopting. I am grateful that you are giving the world a chance to prove love for our brethren regardless of faith or nationality or whatever division that seems to separate us. Please help us to adopt with open arms so that it doesn't become another failure similar to the experience with our Jewish brethren during the 2nd world war when most were abandoned. Help us so no one feels abandoned and help our community adjust to their presence. Bring anointing to our Premier Selinger and to our Prime Minister Trudeau so that they can minister well in this time of emergency. Help aid the volunteers and the Red Cross in making this transition for the incoming refugees. I ask in Jesus' Name. Amen.
