Prayer for the Week: It has always been the simple and humble people of this world who have brought about change to the very fabric of this world. Creator and Sustainer, we ask for you to raise up another flock of such folks. And if you are already raising up such a group around us or among us, we ask for eyes to see them and hearts that will honor them. Too often we have been drawn to the wrong kinds of people who use the wrong methods of change. It is those, with unmistakable moral character and ethical values, who will bring lasting change to the world. It is those, that represent you in their actions and interactions, who shall become the leaders of a movement that will transform hearts and minds. Lord God, we desire to be part of a movement that is shaking the foundations of hate, reshaping what it means to act kindly, and liberating those who are in the grip of fear and hopelessness. We do not do this alone. In fact, you are the First Actor. You are the One who demonstrated what spirit-filled renewal and transformation can look like. It was Jesus, the humble servant, who taught his followers and who continues to teach us how to bring change to individuals, communities and the world. We make these requests with humility and hope. Amen.
