Prayer
As Jesus taught us to pray, let's come boldly before our Heavenly Father (Hebrews 4:16):
Father God, we thank You that You have created all people equal in Your sight. Forgive us for the ways we have harbored prejudice, looked down on others, or failed to love as You love. Search our hearts and reveal any hidden biases or racist attitudes. Fill us instead with Your perfect love that sees beyond outward appearances to the condition of the heart. Give us courage to stand against racism in all its forms, and to treat every person with the dignity they deserve as Your image-bearers. In Jesus' name, Amen.
