– Psalm 23:6

Voice of the day 
Migrants and refugees, despite the pains and losses that come with our displacement, can rejoice. We, the displaced, are not alone. God is with us everywhere — in both the old country and the new, in both lamentation and praise, in both rootedness and displacement. 

– Hannah Keziah Agustin, “What Does It Mean to Follow God in Our Displacement?”

Prayer of the day 
You are the God of the displaced. Thank you for the promise that you will never leave us or forsake us.
