A mother’s prayer for refugees

Susan Booth Mack Snipes

Adapted from an article published in The Christian Science Monitor, May 2, 2016.

“I just want to know what to do.” These were the words of a Syrian woman who had just come to Greece only to find that the border had been closed. My heart welled up within me. I too had uttered those very words on a number of occasions, and as I began to pray about the refugee crisis, I was reminded of a time in my own life when I had earnestly prayed and God had answered my plea for guidance.

I had come to know God as a tender Shepherd who guides, guards, and provides for us.
