Prayer (Psalm 69:7-18)
O Lord and God -
We feel like strangers in today’s world as the pandemic unravels our sense of normalcy and as the Black Lives Matter movement unveils our racist selves and systems.
So we pray to You and trust that in the abundance of Your steadfast love and mercy You will turn to us and answer us.
Rescue us from sinking in the mire. Deliver us from internal and external enemies.
Make haste to answer us for we are in distress.
Draw near. Redeem. Set us free.
Amen.
