Daily Worship

Speaking up for Justice

Acts 6:1

In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.

Lord
Open my eyes to see injustice
Open my ears to listen to the stories of others
Open my hands to serve the needy
Give me courage to step into the struggle

Lord 
I pray today for the church
with those who feel left out
with those who feel kicked out
with those who feel pushed out

Lord
I pray for their restoration
I pray for their vindication
I pray for their reconciliation

Lord
Make me a channel of your peace
Guard my lips 
So that I will  speak well of others and protect the poor.
Guard my tongue
That my mouth may speak your praise
And my lips speak words of faithfulness
