Prayer of Condoleezza Rice

Prayer of Condoleezza Rice following the shooting of five Dallas police officers:

“Dear Heavenly Father, we do not want division and strife and sorrow over the past and anxiety over the future to continue to shadow our future, or the future of our children or our grandchildren, so we turn to You. We know that there are no easy answers, but the answers will come through you.”

“As a nation and as a people, we need to race again toward You, into the embrace of Your loving arms. Dear Heavenly Father, we pray for guidance, we pray for wisdom for our leaders, and we pray that each and every one of us will awaken to the reality that we are justified by faith and that we will be secure and confident in Your deep, deep love for us.”

"We pray that Christians will go out into the world as instruments of Your peace” and instruments of reconciliation. And that each and every day, dear Heavenly Father, we will search and ask that we can be a blessing to one another, as You have been a blessing to us.

“These things we ask in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.”
