Most of us are not in the middle of what is happening in Minneapolis. We are watching from a distance and trying to stay steady while the world is tense and divided.
When everything shakes, God calls His people to stand firm.
“Be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled.” 1 Peter 3:14 KJV
Fear does not have to rule your heart. And in moments like this, your prayers matter more than you know. Turn it overto God, and trust Him to work where we cannot.
And pray for the officers who feel hated or targeted, so they may do their jobs without being demoralized, because we know they carry the weight of responsibility and the fear of misinterpretation.
Pray, too, for those who feel unheard or mistreated, that God will open their eyes and move them away from evil; that they will see they are being used for sacrifice by others.
