Almighty God
We lift to you the seafarers and workers of the Mission to Seafarers affected by the conflict in the Middle East. Protect them wherever they may be, calm their fears, and guide them safely home.
Comfort their families who wait and worry, and fill their hearts with hope, strength and peace. May your love surround them all. Amen
