Dear God,

We know you give us the power to do what is right; that there will be no lightening bolts striking down the oppressors. That it is incumbent that we find our strength and resolve through you and be the catalyst for the change we seek. Help us to raise up our voices and not just speak out against injustice, but seek peaceful action to change this world. Today, it is hard to shine, with the weight of all the oppression in our world, but help us flicker and keep our flames alive. In Jesus’ name we ask, Amen.
