When we are hurting and in pain, we think we want answers. But what we really need is the reminder of God's nearness in the world around us.

I am convinced that our God still speaks today. Sometimes in whispers and sometimes in booms that shake and create and break. The whisper might be more comfortable, but the breaking cedar alters our very world.

A prayer for justice based on Amos 5:24.

This is a prayer from Rev. Jeremy Green at St. Luke’s UMC in Orlando, FL. Jeremy is a close friend of Kelsey Lewis Vincent, our Pastor for Youth and Families. It’s POWERFUL! We hope you pray it with us.

God heal our hearts and heal our land, unite us in your kingdom work; dismantling systems of black oppression, denying whiteness that brings us gain.
