See Habakkuk chapter 1 for more guidance as you pray. |
“How long, O LORD, must I call for
help? But you do not listen! ‘Violence is everywhere!’ I cry, but you do not
come to save.” So prayed the prophet Habakkuk thousands of years ago,
and similarly do many people pray tonight in Baltimore. LORD, our hearts
grieve. We long for peace; we long for justice. We long for brothers and
sisters to support each other, rather than harbor suspicion. Purge our hearts
of sin and hate, LORD. Purge our communities of injustice and retribution. Protect
our police officers. Protect our children. Fill hearts that overflow with violence instead with supernatural peace. Do a work in our day, LORD, to
eradicate racism. Begin with us. In the name of the Prince of Peace we pray,
Amen.
