A thought for the N.I Assembly and Police Service

‘Hear this, you who trample the needy and do away with the poor of the land ... buying the poor with silver and the needy for a pair of sandals ... The Lord has sworn by himself, the Pride of Jacob: “I will never forget anything they have done”.’ AMOS 8:4,6,7 (NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION)

"Father, be with those in Northern Island Assembly and the N.I Police Service who are combating human trafficking.  Please be with those that have been sexually exploited and let them be free lord, let them speak out against their oppression, the criminals responsible as well as those that have abused them, so they may all be identified and convicted.  Amen."

Gangs, violence and Explotation

Most inner cities see levels of organized crime and gang violence, some are worse than others, however no matter how bad the violence is innocent people suffer.  So take time to pray for those that are disillusioned and those they exploit to find peace.

Anyone can fall through the crack of society and no matter how far someone has turned to a criminal life, there is always chance of retribution.

"Oh father, shed your light upon those who have fallen far into darkness and those that suffer because of them.  Show them the light lord, bring them hope and reveal to them that there is a way out of their problems, that they can indeed be forgiven for their sins.  Amen."
