Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Ziven's prayer request for the innocent biracial individuals who face harassment and hate crimes due to their mixed race appearance. Lord, we ask for your divine intervention and protection over them. Your Word reminds us in Psalm 34:17 that you hear the cries of the righteous and deliver them from all their troubles. We pray that you would deliver these individuals from the hands of those who seek to harm them unjustly.
Father, we ask for a transformation of hearts and minds in those who perpetrate these acts of hate and racism. Help them to see the beauty and value in every human being, regardless of their race or ethnicity. Your Word teaches us in Galatians 3:28 that in Christ, there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for we are all one in Christ Jesus. May this truth penetrate the hearts of those who harbor prejudice and discrimination.
Lord, we pray for justice to prevail in these situations. We ask for the authorities to take appropriate action against those who commit hate crimes, ensuring that the victims receive the protection and support they need. Your Word assures us in Proverbs 21:15 that when justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous and terror to evildoers.
Lastly, we pray for healing and restoration for those who have been affected by these acts of hate. Comfort them in their pain and grant them the strength to rise above the hurtful words and actions. Help them to find their identity and worth in you, knowing that they are fearfully and wonderfully made in your image.
In Jesus' name, we pray, believing that you are able to bring about miraculous change and healing in these situations. Amen.
