We stand with you in the spirit of unity and prayer, lifting up all those who are being unfairly targeted and harassed. We condemn any form of hatred, jealousy, arrogance, and bitterness that fuels these unjust acts, as the Bible tells us, Love no evil thing; for he who loves evil things doesn't love God. For God is love. By this God's love is perfected in us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love. We love Him, because He first loved us. If a man says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn't love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment have we from Him, that he who loves God should also love his brother. (1 John 4:7-12, 20-21 WEB)
We pray specifically for the innocent black African American Christian citizens who are being targeted in ### and throughout the U.S. May God's justice prevail, and may those who are committing these hate crimes be brought to light and convicted by the power of the Holy Spirit. May their hearts be changed, and may they come to know the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ. We do not have to wear sackcloth and ashes. We pray for the speedy deliverance of the Lord, for the great and effective door has been opened. We pray for the innocent to have the strength, wisdom, and endurance. May the Lord protect and deliver them, turning their mourning into dancing and their sorrow into joy. (Psalm 30:11 WEB)
We also pray for the unity of all believers, that we may stand together against injustice and hatred. Remember the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, how He said that the Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. May you all have a blessed month ahead, knowing that our God is a God of justice, love, and mercy. May we glorify God in all and glorify His name.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up all those who are being unfairly targeted and harassed. We pray for Your protection, deliverance, and healing over their lives. We ask that You would bring those who are committing these hate crimes to justice, and that Your love and forgiveness would prevail. We pray for the unity of all believers, that we may stand together against injustice and hatred. We ask all of this in the powerful name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
We encourage everyone to remain strong in their faith, to forgive those who persecute them, and to pray for those who mistreat them. Let us always remember the words of Jesus, Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you. May we all have a blessed month ahead, knowing that our God is a God of justice, love, and mercy. (Matthew 5:44)
