MMIWR Prayer for All Affected Families and Survivors.
Creator, we speak your name over those who are hurting, grieving, and desperately seeking justice. We lift up the families who carry the weight of daily sorrow, the survivors who walk in the shadows of trauma, and the broken hearts that long for healing. In the depths of their grief, we ask for your presence, your comfort, and your guidance.
We pray for good medicine to come forth today, for justice to be served, and for investigators to be compelled to act with urgency and conviction. We speak to those in positions of authority, asking for a movement of change, for the guilty to come forward, and for circumstances to shift so that breakthrough can happen.
We pray for the cold cases of the past and those still unfolding in the present, that your hand of intervention would be upon them. May you guide those searching for answers and uncover the truth hidden beneath layers of silence.
We ask for restoration of what has been unjustly taken, for justice for those who seek to silence our voices and erase our histories. We pray for provision for the work ahead, we call for supporters, we ask for the strength and resources to continue this journey. We are grateful, Creator, for the many MMIWR advocates you’ve called from the four corners of the world, bless the hands of their work.
As we remember our lost loved ones, we also honor their lives with joy, recalling their laughter and the memories that will forever live in our hearts. May this day not be one of sorrow alone, but one of celebration for the beautiful souls we’ve lost.
We speak healing into the MMIWR crisis and ask for tangible change for our tribal communities. Break the trafficking networks and stop those who exploit our women and children. Expose and dismantle the systems that allow this to continue.
Creator, equip us with strength, unite us in purpose, and guide us toward breakthrough. Sustain us in this sacred fight. Great Spirit, be with us. OurBodiesShouldNeverBeMissing
