I have been steeped in rage for a long time. I can no longer contain my fury. What I don’t resist will persist. I feel a call-to-action trembling in me. My rage is hallowed ground. I will release it. I will galvanize my outrage into a plan. I will seek out communities sharing my vision for change confident that we can combat the legacy of hurt perpetrated by the abuse of power. I have reached my limit. I know that this cannot fester any longer because it is poison. It is robbing me of my sense of peace and my well-being.
God,
Let us understand that our rage is holy. We will not tolerate the pain of injustice any longer. We will not be silent about things that should be witnessed. Let us be galvanized into action by the fury we feel. Your divinity exists in our anger because it is just. It is a call to heal ourselves and the world. It is a call to right the wrongs that have injured the voiceless. Give us constructive avenues to transform this ire into a better life. Grant us the means to bring Your love and light to the darkest situations. Let us shine a light on every hidden sorrow that needs healing.
Amen
