O LORD, hear our plea for justice. Listen to our cry for help. Pay attention to our prayer, for it comes from honest hearts. Help us to love our neighbors more than we love ourselves, respecting differences and embracing our commonalities to find common ground.
Break our hearts for the things that break Yours.
Help us to be Your echoes of mercy and whispers of love, showing love to the least of these just like you did when you were here announcing the good news of Your kingdom. Use our hands to extend help and love to those who need it so desperately.
Break our hearts for the things that break Yours.
Use us to bring Your kingdom from heaven to earth every day through our words and actions. Help us to realize that an aching world is waiting for us, Your followers, to be Your instruments of justice. Wreck us for the sake of Your kingdom.
Break our hearts for the things that break Yours.
Lord, may You continue to bless us, your followers, with enough foolishness to believe that we can make a difference in this world even when the doubters’ loud bullhorns of hopelessness seem deafening.
Break our hearts for the things that break Yours.
For Yours alone is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever.
Amen.
