A Prayer for Justice

I will continue to pray this prayer and post on social media until there is justice for all in America. Current events at CVS, a cookout in California, a young girl selling lemonade, a young man at a pool in Indianapolis, a women wearing a Puerto Rican tee shirt and my own encounters with racist comments make this prayer even more urgent.

Praying for my brothers and sisters of color. Praying that as you walk down the street, people will not clutch their purses or bags a little tighter. Praying as you visit a place of business, you will not be hassled. I pray if for some reason you’re pulled over by the police, you will be treated with respect. I am saddened that I have to pray this prayer every day for my brothers and sisters of color, but I will continue to lift this prayer up each day. I will continue to speak out against the injustices in this world. ~OC
