Refugees
Psalm 5:2-4


Hear my words, my groans, my cries for help,
O God my king.
I pray to you, lord,
my prayer rises with the sun.
At dawn I plead my case and wait.

Voices of asylum seekers


"I dare not go back. In my dreams I dream about going back to my place ... 1 am hiding at night ... I talk to my parents but can only stay a few hours ... even in my dreams I'm still afraid."

"I can't contact my family because that could put them in danger. So I keep quiet."

"They don't know who is fighting for what. All they know is that they want to live in peace."
