A Prayer of Faith and Hope in a Time of Fear (Based on MLK)
This prayer uses Martin Luther King Jr.’s reflections on Amos 5:24 and Micah 6:8 and speaks to a longing for peace and justice.
Prayer excerpt: “In times of fear amid rumors of war, We pray that one day Justice will roll down like water, And righteousness like a mighty stream. We pray that all our elected officials will Do justice and love mercy And walk humbly with their God.”
