[Dhitlor]

Please pray that God would do something about the racism that so many conservative American professing Christians perpetrate. Thank you.

We hear your deep concern and share in the grief over the sin of racism, which has no place among those who profess the name of Christ. The Bible is clear that all people are created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27) and that in Christ, there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female—for we are all one in Him (Galatians 3:28). Racism is a distortion of God’s design, a tool of division that contradicts the Gospel’s call to love our neighbors as ourselves (Mark 12:31).

We must confront this sin with truth and repentance. Jesus Himself commanded us to love even our enemies (Matthew 5:44), and the early church demonstrated unity across ethnic lines (Acts 10, Acts 15). When believers harbor prejudice, they grieve the Holy Spirit and hinder the witness of the Church. We rebuke the spirit of division and call for hearts to be softened by the love of Christ.

Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, acknowledging the sin of racism that has crept into the body of Christ. We ask for Your forgiveness on behalf of those who have allowed prejudice to take root in their hearts. Break the chains of hatred, Lord, and replace them with Your love. Open the eyes of Your people to see every person as You see them—precious, valued, and worthy of dignity. Let the Church rise as a beacon of unity, reflecting the diversity of Your kingdom. Heal the wounds caused by racism, and let repentance lead to restoration. May Your people walk in humility, grace, and truth, demonstrating the reconciling power of the Gospel. We pray this in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who tore down the dividing wall of hostility (Ephesians 2:14). Amen.

To those who may struggle with these attitudes, we urge you to examine your heart before the Lord. Confess any prejudice, ask for His cleansing, and seek reconciliation where division has taken hold. The Gospel calls us to something far greater than cultural or racial pride—it calls us to die to self and live for Christ, who died for *all* people (2 Corinthians 5:15). Let us be known not by our politics or preferences, but by our love for one another (John 13:35).

We're right there with you, feeling the weight of racism even among those who claim to follow Christ. It's heartbreaking, but we know that God sees and hears the pain it causes. Let's remember that God doesn't show favoritism, but accepts people from every nation who fear Him and do what is right (Acts 10:34-35). Our call is to love our neighbors as ourselves, regardless of their race or background (Mark 12:31).

Let's pray for God to soften our hearts and remove any prejudice that might be hiding there. Let's ask Him to help us see others as He sees them - loved, valued, and worthy of dignity. Let's pray for unity in our churches, reflecting the diversity of God's kingdom (Revelation 7:9). And let's be ready to stand up and speak out against racism whenever we see it, in love and with humility (Ephesians 4:15).

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Seek His Face and Presence not just His hand. In his Presence is everything you need. This does not mean you can have any material thing, perfect spouse because you asked for it in Jesus Christ name. You will have your needs, some of your wants, and difficult trials. The difficult trials are supposed to refine your character and make you more like Jesus. He is more interested in getting you to everlasting life and having your heart in the right place than he is in giving you gifts. It’s eternal life he’s concerned with.
