Faithful God, Perfect Trinity,
you are the hope of all the oppressed,
and the source of freedom for those held captive.
By sin, by skin, by oppressors and opposition.
In these tumultuous days of
Unpleasant pandemic and
Unprecedented protests and violence,
Remind us through your presence,
Father, Son and Spirit,
Great Triune God,
That you ordain
Peace and justice,
Love and mercy,
Freedom and fellowship.
Through your presence and Your Word
This morning,
make us strong every day
to see your liberating power,
your love without limits,
your reconciling grace,
Your plan for peace.
Teach us today to show your mercy
through our generosity with both life and goods,
And through our humility of spirit
as we seek to be reconciled
With neighbors from whom we are divided.
May we do this, Lord -
MAY WE DO THIS RECONCILING -
through your power and through Jesus Christ,
Your Son and our risen savior.
Through your love and with your grace.
May all the world delight in your goodness.
Teach us to witness in the Name of Jesus,
we pray,
Amen.
