Help us in our advocacy efforts with Bread for the World – to honor you with our work for justice, healing, and peace in our day.
Lord, when it’s too hard living, we remember you are the great “I am” and our source of strength and purpose for each new day. We remember the songs, stories, and fiery hope of old men and little girls, granny midwives and marvelous musicians, great orators and leaders, entrepreneurs and innovators – those who are earth-tone brown, black as night, fair like the sands of Egypt.
We remember the legacy of those who came before us – who not only paved the way but carried the bricks on broken backs that then built that road. This month, we celebrate Black History Month and honor the culture of our brothers and sisters. To you we offer our prayers, our praise, and our supplications. This holy hour, we bring ourselves into your presence, O God. Photo: Dalyce Wilson for Bread for the World.
