Prayer

God of inspiration, when I look around, there are so many people modeling a better way. The leaders working to care for their people, even when it’s less profitable. The children speaking out in halls of power to advocate for a brighter future. The everyday people bringing truckloads of donations after a disaster. God, let me be part of this crowd. Let their light ignite my own actions so I might be a light for others, too. With conviction I pray, amen.
—prayer by Rev. Sarah A. Speed
