Grant us Grace, O Lord, to battle audaciously against evil
and to make no peace with oppression.
Make us your vessels of transformation,
to resist cruelty in all its manifestations
that no human shall be denied the right to thrive,
to live without fear, or to flourish in all their promise.
God calls us to courageously act in the Way of Love
and to be agents toward changing racism:
bring us together, Lord,
to face our sinful ways,
that we may change our systemic inequity,
and embrace the changes we must make.
Let us rejoice in the work begun almost 160 years ago,
and grant us the resolve to continue
the healing and reconciliation,
and the will to ensure that no person is
ever subjected to bigotry and hatred.
We offer this prayer that your glory and honor
might be made known through the freedom of all people.
Prayer to honor Juneteenth, 2022
PRAYER FROM THE PRESIDING BISHOP AND OUR DIOCESE
Eternal God of love, we know that you do not willingly inflict pain upon or grieve your children, and your dream for all is life abundant.
We come to you now in sorrow and sadness at the death and violence inflicted on our siblings of St. Stephen’s Church in Vestavia Hills, Alabama. Receive the souls of those who have died. Grant them peace in your arms of love.
Be with those who are injured and suffer, those who are grieving, and those who are frightened and dispirited.
Help us as a nation to find ways to bring an end to this scourge of violence, which hurts your children and our human family.
Give us the strength we need, the courage we must have, and the faith in you that will see us through. All this we pray and ask in the name of the prince of peace - your son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O God, where hearts are fearful and constricted,
grant courage and hope.
Where anxiety is infectious and widening,
grant peace and reassurance.
Where impossibilities close every door and window,
grant imagination and resistance.
Where distrust twists our thinking,
grant healing and illumination.
Where spirits are daunted and weakened,
grant soaring wings and strengthened dreams.
All these things we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
