Lord, you ask us to shine your light of truth into the darkness of sin, both in the world and in our own lives. We need your truth to cut away our nation’s long-standing racial inequity, our idolatry of whiteness and nationalism, and any form of injustice or oppression. Lord, let us bravely cling to the truth of your love, truth that leads us to speak against all forms of hatred toward people created in the imago Dei. Amen. —HEATHER WINDELER
