Lord, You do not see race. You see only Your creation. We ask You to guide Americans into understanding, acceptance and love between the races. Let us see each other as You see us, Your children.
For God shows no partiality. Romans 2:11
“I now make it my earnest prayer, that God would have the United States in his holy protection, that he would incline the hearts of the Citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to Government, to entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another, for their fellow citizens of the United States at large, and particularly for their brethren who have served in the Field, and finally, that he would most graciously be pleased to dispose us all, to do Justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility and pacific temper of mind, which were the characteristics of the Devine Author of our blessed Religion, and without an humble imitation of whose example in these things, we can never hope to be a happy Nation. Amen” ~ George Washington’s prayer from his farewell address. September 19, 1796
Operation World Pray for Tunisia : The Arab Spring began in Tunisia (December 2010). The country had one of the most progressive and open societies in the Arab world, but Tunisians felt frustrated by high unemployment, corruption, political oppression, and poor living conditions. Protests led to government changes, and inspired similar protests across the whole Arab world. However, continued economic decline and unemployment, the increasing presence of Islamic fundamentalism, and a heavy-handed President (who rewrote the constitution to give himself more power) all serve to rob Tunisians of confidence in their country’s future. Pray that the travails of Tunisia might somehow draw people towards Christ.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Psalms 23:4 (NIV)
