Please help me understand your perspective of refugees and know how you want me to respond. In a world in which one in every 122 people is forcibly displaced and 42,500 people are newly uprooted every day, the chances are good that some of these women, children and men will cross your path. God has clear expectations when it comes to how we relate to our neighbor, the foreigner and the stranger. As you read today’s texts, consider the very practical ways we are called to love the foreigner and stranger. How might these apply to the way you relate to refugees, asylum seekers and migrants in your country, city and neighborhood? Do these divine mandates provoke any internal tension or defensiveness? Why? Listen for the voice of God in the tension. What is he telling you? [ Click here ](http://iafr.org/youversion/downloads/day7-prayer-for-refugees.pdf) to download A Prayer for Refugees.
