Tonight I'm praying for those who want justice and who are weary. Lord, there are long days when they grow tired, hot days when its hard to march, times when its easier to hate than to love, times when it seems easier to throw a rock then to use a stone to build, moments when its hard to hold a picket line together, long moments where they face the anger and hatred of others. But from faith comes patience and from patience comes enduring strength, and our faith, patience, and strength is in You, Lord, whether we know it or not. We find ourselves in the words of the apostle who reminded us that we are a part of the history of Your salvation and that those who struggled before us are with us and that we will all be made perfect in You through faith and solidarity. Oh, God, may those who want justice feel rested and strengthened in You, inspired by You and by Your holy ones, and be given the courage they need to go on. May Your kingdom come and may Your will be done on earth as it is heaven. I ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
