Slavery was officially abolished in the USA by the Thirteenth Amendment in December however sadly human trafficking is growing at an alarming rate and despite the USA being a first world country, human trafficking has become a lucrative business for some members of our society. Today I want to share with you 20 Scriptures that we can pray for the cause of stopping all human trafficking. You will find a free printable at the bottom of the post. I encourage you to print this off, share it, and use it as a prayer guide.

Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.
