A prayer in the time of ICE
God of justice,
God for all people,
after my daily calls are made,
and my morning emails sent,
I pause to give thanks
for all in Minnesota,
and Albuquerque,
and Maine,
and places I do not know
who
mourn and weep,
pray and meditate,
organize and strategize,
march and walk,
cogitate and agitate,
disrupt and interrupt,
blow whistles and whistleblow,
boycott and purchase,
stand up and speak out,
demonstrate and advocate,
write and illustrate,
knit and paint,
draw and create,
sing and play,
resist and act in ways
beyond my limited understanding
and pale imagination
for a society, a country, a world
where everyone is welcome,
everyone is included,
everyone is loved,
diversity is cherished,
equity is achieved,
and justice flows
for each person.
Keep them safe.
Grant them strength.
Guide their feet.
Bless their efforts.
I pray in Jesus’ name.
Amen
