Heavenly Father,

You love justice. In the face of great injustice, we cry out to you for the women, men, and children around the world who are being help captive.

You are a God of miracles. You are a healer, restorer, and life-giver. We know that you can bring life, purpose, and joy back to people who have had the years stolen away. We declare that instead of their former shame, all those enslaved will receive a double portion and everlasting joy will be theirs. Put a new song in their mouths.

We ask for justice to come to those who have trafficked people. You are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love. We ask for authorities to locate, arrest, prosecute, and sentence these lawbreakers and that they would come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

We cry out for you to turn the hearts of leaders to enforce laws and systems to protect the vulnerable. We pray against corruption in all levels of government and law enforcement. We ask you to change governments to hate evil, to love good, and to establish justice at their gates. 

God, help the public to see this as a problem for us all, not just those directly touched by slavery. As hard as it is to see and hear the truth of what happens to these victims, we ask that you would help to increase awareness. Show us how this is not only a problem overseas, but right here in our own cities. We ask you to reveal how pornography plays drives the trafficking of women and children and to be voices for purity.

Father, raise us up to action that we would go, rescue, educate, and prevent. Raise up your people to risk their lives so that others can be saved. Father, you are a God of freedom, your whole purpose in sending Jesus was to provide freedom to the captives. Please provide freedom for these victims and provide arms waiting to help restore them. Raise up a justice army of people willing to take action in a variety of different forms so that an end can come to the evil of slavery. 

And Father, give favor to those who are speaking for justice.

In Jesus name,
Amen
