Father,As your church and as your city we pray for your wisdom, your grace, and your healing. There are many issues across this city, but there is one wound which festers openly. As a city we try to ignore it but the world is watching to see whether healing and resolution will come. We pray this week for resolution to the crisis under the Julia Tuttle Bridge where there lives a group of about 70 convicted sexual predators made homeless by strict legislation. Father, you know the pain and the suffering their actions have brought upon the innocent. You know their sins. And Father, you know ours. You know the separation from you that our sins cause and yet while we are still sinners you love us. Father, even as we cry out in anger and fear for justice against those who would cause harm to children give us pause. Let us stop and also cry out for compassion, healing, and resolution. We can not walk in the love of Christ and pretend that its okay for men and women whom you love to be cast out and forced to live in septic squalor. Its not right in any third world country and it not right in the heart of Miami. We are at a loss for a solution, but we are not at a loss for who to seek in the midst of the situation. So Father, we humble ourselves before you and beg you to give us the love of Christ for the untouchables in the midst of us. And in that love we ask you to bring healing into the lives of these offenders and into the lives of their victims and the victims families. We also ask that you grant wisdom and means to people who are in a position to change the current situation. May your deep and perfect justice prevail here in this city.Amen
