prayer for minneapolis and Our country

Dear God, the Source of all Truth, please abolish the lies that are leading to this behavior. Dear Jesus, our Prince of Peace please make a path forward out of this violence. Dear Holy Spirit, the Comforter, we need your consolation as we try to recover from this tragedy.

Holy Trinity, we know that you are not the author of confusion. We need you in this chaotic time to give us clarity. And give us wisdom as we seek to respond in ways that restore wholeness.

God of Liberation and Salvation, we call upon you to intercede. Disrupt systems of harm. Change hardened hearts. Invade spaces opposed to Your character of justice and compassion.

Spirit, our Advocate, Jesus, our Defender, God of courage, we need you desperately as we face bullies and deceivers — those who are soul sick. Help us to be spreaders of Your cure: Love.

Source of all of Love, embolden us to not hate as they do. And be our shield as we endeavor to dismantle the things that deface Your image on earth.

Amen.
