Prayers for Racial Justice

Heavenly God, we praise your name and thank you
for your glorious goodness and mercy.

Lord Jesus, bless all those
actively engaged in the struggle for racial justice.

Holy Spirit, we beseech you to enter into the minds and hearts
of all those in authority in the Church.
that they may hear the voices crying out for justice.
and act to bring about change

Lead and inspire us, Lord,
to build a community where everyone
is recognised and valued as one made in your image and likeness,
and redeemed by the Death and Resurrection of Your Son
our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns for ever and ever .
Amen.


Lord, Jesus Christ
who reached across the ethnic boudaries
between Samaritan, Roman and Jew
who offered fresh sight to the blind
and freedom to captives,
help us to break down the barriers in our community,
enable us to see the reality of racism and bigotry,
and free us to challenge and uproot from ourselves
our society and our world.
Amen
