Our hearts are broken and are conscious seared by the terrible act of violence that has slain 8 people. We are particularly praying for the Asian community as they mourn the loss of 6 women who image their Creator. May God have mercy and bring comfort in this time of deep grief.
Let us be clear in these tumultuous times that what is happening in our city and being propagated in the name of Christ is evil. Christians gather your family, friends and neighbors and pray for our nation. 1/3
Pray for the broken trust and broken hearts and for redemption of those who are perpetrating wickedness. Now is the time for lament and a crying out to the Lord our God! 2/3
Consecrate a fast; call a solemn assembly. Gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land to the house of the Lord your God, and cry out to the Lord.
Joel 1:14 3/3
"We cry out to you Father, help us to put our faith to work as we acknowledge the image of God in those relegated to the margins of society."

Today we are meditating on Psalm 121.
“My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber.”
Psalm 121:2-3 ESV
We are grateful to our friends at @dcunityjustice for putting together a time for Christians to pray for our nation. In a time of so much hopelessness we are reminded that our help comes from the Lord and He is near. We'd love to see you there: bit.ly/DCUJPostElectionPraye…
