Lord, my heart aches from the news of George Floyd's death and murder.

I struggle to find words that capture my prayers to you:

Lord, enter into this long history of brokenness and racism in America.
Lord, start with me -- put in me a new and right spirit.
Lord, don't stop there -- be at work within and through your people to stand and speak up against racism and injustice.
Lord, don't stop there -- be a work in and through faith, community, political, judicial and law enforcement leaders to change and heal our culture and our country.

Lord, help me and others to pray, to stand up, and to speak for JUSTICE for all and HEALING from hate and fear in America.

Amen.
