Lent Prayer on Health Care and Racial Justice

God of New Beginnings,

Open our ears to the Lenten refrain:
Turn again. Try again. Begin again.
Let our journey back to You be a journey toward our sisters and brothers.
Let our journey back to You be a journey of equity and justice.

God who sees all, open our eyes to the truth of systematic racism in our country.
Let us be light for the world.

God who walks in righteousness, move our feet to trample the structural racism that contributes to poorer health for our black and brown sisters and brothers.
Let us be leaven for change.

God who created all people, wake our sleeping hearts to cherish all your children.
Let us be love for the world.

Let our journey back to You, be a journey of equity and justice.
Let our journey back to You, be a journey toward our sisters and brothers.
Open our ears to the Lenten refrain.
Turn again. Try again. Begin again.
