O great disruptor of the status quo,
Why do the voices of those who preach division and fear seem to drown out the voices of inclusion and hope?
Why does justice seem to illude those places in our world where your people call out for release?
Why are those of us who claim to follow you often so slow to respond?
God break into our complacency,
Disrupt our isolation with the voices of those who yearn for a different tomorrow.
Help us to see what we have not been able to see,
To hear what we have not been able to hear.
Grant us courage to encounter the suffering,
Speak disruptive truth,
Envision your alternative future,
And live your alternative future into being.
We trust that your purposes continue to unfold.
We are grateful you continue to nudge us into the future.
Amen.
