4:00 PM | A Prayer for Us

Holy One,

We confess, regretfully, that we are sometimes worn out by the number of things that need repair in this world. We feel moved by nightly news reports of war, grieved by images of children who have been injured, and outraged by the callousness of leaders who do not share our views about how to make things right. Sometimes, we say we have compassion fatigue. How much more can we process? We say this from the safety of our living rooms or offices or cars.

Forgive us, O God.

Send your provoking Spirit to stir us up again. Open our hearts to the needs of those who are suffering. Move us to action that demands justice for all who are being harmed by powerful people.

We pray for peace.

Amen.
