Gracious God,
Thank you for the ways you've been moving among us these 40 days. Thank you for the ways you've inspired our voices, lifted our burdens, healed our bodies, minds and spirits and opened us to receiving and giving forgiveness.
We pray that in this time of national turmoil, we might hear and respond to the ways you are calling us to confront injustice, cross social boundaries and connect deeply with you.
May we be compassionate with one another.
In Jesus' name,
Amen
