Spirit of God,
Descend upon our hearts this day as we open ourselves to You. We are so blessed and we give You thanks. On this Martin Luther King, Jr. Day we reflect on the events of the civil rights movement. There were so many injustices that we accepted because we felt one segment of our population was inferior. Please forgive our complicity, O Lord. Certainly we have come a long way, but that journey is not complete. May we be agents for reconciliation and justice in the 21st century. May we actively seek to overcome the evil of racism that still exists today. May we truly see Imago Dei, Your image, in all of those we meet. In Jesus’ name we pray. AMEN.
