Spiritual Vitamin: "Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgression. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin." Psalm 51:1-2
Challenge: LaTosha Morrison, in Be the Bridge, states "To lament means to express sorrow or regret. The purpose of lament is to allow us to connect with and grieve the reality of our sin and sufferings. It draws us to repentant connection with God in that suffering. We look around our country today and see a great racial divide. It breaks our hearts. As we lament about this with God, we literally join our hearts with his and grieve the lack of His kingdom justice here on earth. We ask God for help and healing on our land. We ask God how He wants to use us to repair what's been broken."
Prayer: Dear God, Thank you so much that You are very aware of the strong racial divide in our country today. Your heart breaks as ours does too. As we lament, we know that You mourn with us. Bring justice and hope and healing to our country. Use us, Lord, to make a difference in our country. Amen.
