As strange as it may be, after hearing of the atrocious acts they commit, we should also pray for the traffickers and those involved in procuring, buying and selling slaves.
- Pray that justice would be done.
- Pray that the traffickers would get caught. Maybe they will mess something up or accidentally try to sell a slave to an undercover officer.
- Pray that once caught, the traffickers would be arrested and convicted and appropriately punished. Too often, they get away with little to no punishment because of bribes or lack of interest on the part of the authorities.
- Pray that their operations would get disrupted so that they are not able to carry on their business.
- Pray that their business would become unprofitable and they would just give up.
- Pray that God's Spirit would convict them of the sinfulness of their actions and that they would stop their buying and selling of people made in God's image.
- Pray that they would realize their need for a Savior and that they would be able to hear about Christ and His work on the cross and turn to Him for forgiveness and healing. What an amazing testimony to God's grace and mercy that would be! How wonderful it would be to join with slaves and former slave owners (such as John Newton) before God's throne praising Him!
