Loving Creator,

We come into your presence with deep gratitude for the longing and discontent that we feel. Thank you for giving us ears to hear cries for justice, hearts to feel with those who are oppressed, and hands and feet to do something about it.

Be with us on this journey to justice, peace, and reconciliation. When we’re afraid, teach us how to face our prejudices. When we’re weary, remind us of the miracles of whispered prayers and least coins.

Loving Creator, help us to love like you and create anew the world you so love.

Amen.
