Praying for Justice and Compassion in Changing Times, June 29, 2025

Dear Gracious and Sovereign God, in a world shaped by sweeping decisions and quiet heartbreak, we come before You with reverence, seeking Your wisdom, mercy, and peace.

As lawmakers press forward with a massive bill that could reshape the nation’s future, we pray for clarity and compassion. May those entrusted with power remember the people behind the policies—the families who depend on care, the workers who carry the weight of change, and the communities whose voices are too often unheard. Let justice be the measure of every vote, and truth the foundation of every word.

We lift up the children and families who may lose access to after-school programs—the only federal support of its kind—programs that nourish minds, offer safety, and build futures. May compassion guide our leaders to protect what matters most: the well-being of the next generation.

As the Supreme Court’s rulings ripple through the nation, we hold space for those who feel unseen or uncertain. May the pursuit of justice never come at the cost of dignity. May courts be places of wisdom, not division, and may every decision reflect the sacred worth of every life.

We grieve with the Haitian community in South Florida and across the United States, as the end of Temporary Protected Status brings fear and displacement. For those who have built lives here, who have fled violence and instability, may mercy prevail. May we remember that safety is not a privilege, but a human right.

And as America reconsiders its long love affair with cars, we reflect on what it means to move forward. May we seek not only convenience, but sustainability. Not only speed, but connection. May we build a future where transportation serves all people with dignity and care.

Above all, may peace prevail—in our policies and our protests, in our homes and our highways, in the hearts of those who lead and those who follow. May we walk humbly, act justly, and love boldly.

Amen 💕✌️✌️
