God of many names, and those yet to be known, we call upon You in this time of division and uncertainty. In a world where hate, bigotry, and racism are wielded as tools of control, we seek Your guidance and protection.

Safeguard our LGBTQIA+ siblings, uphold the dignity of immigrants and refugees searching for rest and refuge, and instill in us the courage to love one another as You love us. May we be instruments of justice, compassion, and unity, working to build a world where all are valued and embraced.

Amen.
