Loving God and Father, be present with the Baptist congregation and their community of Sutherland Springs. Send your Holy Spirit to move upon the citizens and leadership of our country that we may resist polarization and division and instead choose unity, resist party affiliation and choose country, resist the darkness and choose the light, resist hate and choose love, in the hope that we may come together, to stand together against violence and find a means to heal, reconcile, and renew so we can see each other as human beings, brothers and sisters created in the image and likeness of God.
