God of justice,
Open our eyes to recognise prejudice wherever it exists.
Give us the courage to challenge injustice with wisdom and grace.
Heal the wounds caused by racism and discrimination.
Bring reconciliation where there is division,
understanding where there is fear, and hope where there is discouragement.
Teach us to listen well, speak truth with love, and walk humbly with one another.
May your peace reign in our hearts, our communities, and our nation.
Amen
