Sovereign God, you blessed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with your spirit of unity and peace. We pray: God, in your justice, hear our prayer.  

Embolden your Church to shed Gospel light on practices rooted in racism and discrimination. 

God, in your justice, hear our prayer.  

Sustain all who work to secure human rights, especially in hostile environments. 

God, in your justice, hear our prayer.  

Free your people from every form of oppression that plagues human lives. 

God, in your justice, hear our prayer.  

Our Father . . .  

May the peace of God which surpasses all understanding guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Amen.
