Adapted from 180 Prayers to Change the World by Janice Thompson
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:2 NIV
Some people look different, Lord. They don’t fit in. They speak a different language or dress a different way. Their skin color is different. They’re from a different culture, one I’m not familiar with. Many are struggling to find their way, and those in my inner circle haven’t done much to help. Today, please show me how I can combat prejudice not just in my neighborhood, my church, or my town but in general. When You look at us, You don’t see people divided by languages and cultures; You see one big happy family. And it is Your will that we see this too. Show me how I can play a role in making people feel like they fit in, I pray. Amen.
