Reflect
Wars, elections, and civil unrest upend our quest for peace. As the next big election nears, it will only get worse. Now is the time to ask ourselves: Am I part of the problem or the solution?
Pray
God of all,
Turmoil can be found in every corner of the world you created.
The violent rhetoric is deafening, but I cannot extract myself from the noise.
Not fully.
But I know your hope for us is that we follow the simple instructions of your son:
Love God, love your neighbor.
May we carry those instructions in our minds and hearts.
Let it begin with me.
Amen.
Act
Close your eyes and say a quiet prayer for those whose lives have been damaged by war, civil unrest, or violence. They, too, are loved by the God who loves you.
