Will you pray this prayer with me?

Gracious and Merciful Heavenly Father,
We pray that our nation will, by your grace, rid ourselves of the sin of Racism. That the evil that disguises itself as alt-right or white supremacy will not be tolerated. That violence will cease.

We pray for reconciliation between all Americans regardless of skin tone or ethnic differences. We pray that the Church of Jesus Christ will stand up for justice and will, through the power of the Gospel, lead out in denouncing sin and promoting peace.

We pray that racial superiority, bigotry, anti-Semitism will be seen as the evil that it is and that the Bible’s message of the dignity of every individual that comes from being made in the image of God will be upheld.

We pray that true Christians will speak out against those who hide behind a false version of Christianity to hide their hate.

Father, we pray that until Jesus returns His life changing gospel will continue to do what nothing else can transform our hearts. Amen
