Spirit of God, we build walls and barriers. We assume and

sun blazes hot, grant us a cool breeze of relief and the
 
patience of a planted seed. May we grow in faithfulness in

righteousness as the sun rises high and the crops grow tall.

addiction to violence and weapons of destruction. Bend the
 
arc of the universe towards justice. Inspire us with courage
 
to resist the evil of racism, to proclaim your inclusive love, to
 
root out the enemies of righteousness, to persist for peace.
 
    Open our hearts and minds by the power of your Spirit, Holy
 
God, that we might hear and receive the message you intend
 
for us today. Amen.
