God, for every person who has answered the call to embody love for our neighbors in Minneapolis, surround them with courage and wisdom. Amplify their presence to break these horrific repetitions of harm. For every person being targeted/detained/assaulted, cover them with care and protection. Ground them in love and community. Bless all creativity that gums up the gears of oppression. Bless every act of mutual aid. Bless every whisper or whistle of care that gets uttered. Move us to action. Move us to unceasing hope. Amen.
