prayer for peace, a prayer for courage in charlottesville

As I arise this morning to pictures and videos of a church full of people worshipping (some who I know personally) while a group of angry, torch bearing white supremacist rallied outside in Charlottesville, my heart is in knots. I honestly feel sick.

It feels like our world is going insane.   May God give my brothers and sisters who are there grace, courage, and protection and… May God give the same to white Christians to use their voice to speak out against the hatred that is seemingly growing in our land (many who were quick to use their voices in protest of BLM rallies). Sadly, I hold little hope that they will use that same vigilance and protest regarding what happened last night.   May Christ, who is our peace and has broken down every wall, raise up his true church. r
