Daily Prayer - January 24 2023

The Department of Homeland Security began operating in the USA on January 24, 2003. It had been established by the Homeland Security Act of November 25, 2002 in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. It combined 22 sections together for greater coordination and better intelligence sharing. Its priorities have shifted somewhat away from external terrorist threats in recent times to border security and the implementing of immigration laws. It also deals with natural disasters and cyberwarfare.

 

Loving God,

it is natural for countries to want to protect the lives of its citizens and to set up agencies to ensure that protection.

We ask that those entrusted with the task of protection will respect the dignity and rights of the people it deals with.

Grant that people will continue to have access to legal support and due process when dealing with such agencies.

Amen
