From Bishop Brookhart: A Prayer in the Face of Violence
A Prayer in the Face of Violence
By The Rt. Rev. C. Franklin Brookhart, Jr. +
Heavenly Father, we do not know what to do in the face of the violence that is racking our country. We are frightened about our future and are shocked by the inaction of some of our leaders. Our racism and fascination with violence fill us with shame. All this we lay before your throne of grace, knowing that you always are our hope and that you will open doors of resurrection life for us and our country. Show us where we need to repent in our lives and how we can be agents of your peace here and now. In the name of the One who can save us from ourselves we pray. Amen.
