Father,

Thank you for giving us the ability and the freedom to express ourselves. In this changing world, we want to be heard and you want us to free of oppression. “Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.” (Psalm2:3) Our conscious participation is an important part of the changes that are before us because we are your children of Light. You want us to engage more prominently in the process because when we do, we infuse the darkness with Love, transforming it into clarity. We humbly accept the task you assign to us, Father, to continue to shine our light into the darkness of this world. “With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.” (Job 12:16)

Bless our voices so that they always ring clear. Bless our hands so they may be put to thy use. Bless our minds, so that our conscious awareness makes effective strides. Bless our robust hearts so we may infuse Love into all we think, say and do. Help us withstand the uncovering of darkness. To give us the courage to stand strongly and fight for our future bravely. “He reveals the deep things of darkness, and brings deep shadows into light.” (Job 12:22)

Thank you, Father for giving us the strength and courage to continue. “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.” (Isaiah 40:31) Thank you for your promise of a better day for our families and loved ones so that we may take our place as the good stewards of this beautiful Earth, as you always intended us to be. “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

Let it be so,

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
