Almighty Father, we ask you to bring peace upon the United States of America especially Ferguson, Missouri. There is much anger over the many unarmed young lives being taken by those who are sworn to protect. We understand the need for self preservation but also hold that life is precious and sacred. Help our communities learn to coexist and set aside suspicion and prejudice. Protect our law enforcers and give them guidance when they are in a situation where they fear for their lives. Calm protesters who feel betrayed. Bring humility to governments who try to oppress their people. Bring upon us love for one another so that we may not see just colors, but your image in others. Help our young people avoid the temptation of engaging in criminal activity. Bring peace to our communities, especially to our hearts. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
