Lord, settle my heart.
Still my fears.
Help me to trust Your timing more than my impatience.
Lead me not with anxiety, but with the deep, gentle pull of Your peace.
I will wait for You, because I trust You.
Amen.

Prayer by Pastor Jody McKewen

I am no longer my own.
I stand now with your people.
Join me in solidarity with others.
Let us take action.
Let us wait in silence.
Let us confront oppression.
Let us mourn what is lost.
