Today we are praying for Racial Reconciliation.
God, thank you for creating all people. Thank you for the way that you bring so many nations, backgrounds, and people together to worship Jesus as one family. God, I pray for the tensions that exist in this country between people who are different races. I pray that you would convict the hearts of those filled with hate or misunderstanding. May Your truth and love fill this country, especially those who know You. Help Your children to be an example of forgiveness and joy in diversity. Convict my heart of any ways that I may be harboring bitterness or prejudice against someone different than me. Thank you that you are a God who restores and redeems, and I pray this over my own life, church, and community.
