A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Loving God,
we give thanks for the many victories
won by light over darkness
expressed by faiths around the world.
We pray that we might all be part of the ultimate victory
when the darkness of injustice and hate
will be forever dispelled
by the desire for justice and capacity for love
which reside in the hearts of all humanity.
AMEN
Human Rights Day
10/12/2020
Here's a special message for Human Rights Day 2020 - a year like no other (2:09).
So what are Human Rights (2:08)?
A PRAYER
We pray this day for all who are denied human rights.
We pray for individuals and organisations campaigning for the oppressed.
We pray for oppressors that their hearts be transformed.
Loving God, help us to be beacons of hope,
willing to speak and campaign,
to support and encourage,
to show compassion and resilience,
so that your kingdom of peace and justice be established
in this place, at this time.
Give us wisdom and courage to make the first seemingly small steps and declarations
required to make giant leaps and proclamations.
We ask this in your holy name. AMEN
