  21. Dearest Lord

    We pray for those who sell their sexuality for money. For those who do this out of desperation, reassure them with the knowledge of thy true love. For the others, bring them to the realisation that sexuality is a God-given gift to express love and true affection and that love can never be sold or bought. We pray for those children and young people who are sexually abused. May they find true affection and hope in you. May the abusers thinking less of themselves and more of others.

    We pray especially for Suzanne Blamires who was found murdered, Shelley Armitage, and Susan Rushworth who are still missing in Bradford UK, and that these women will leave the streets Lord and come in to your arms. We pray that society will help those suffering from addiction and the need to feed the habit which forces them on the streets. We pray they will know our uncondtional love, as you have given us your unconditional love Lord.

    The sex industry is a terrible blight on the whole world Lord, send your Holy Spirit to lead and guide those poor souls who feel they have no way out, home to your heart.

    Amen
