Churches Together in England (CTE) joined on 25 May 2021 for #CandleOfJustice: a moment of action – commemorating the first anniversary of George Floyd’s murder. We are encouraged to continue throughout this week, and in the times to come, to pray and work together for racial justice.
An invitation to join the #CandleOfJustice prayers from CTE Pentecostal President Pastor Agu Irukwu… “O Lord, you are a God of justice, may we share your passion for justice…”
Thank you, Pastor Agu… and we continue to join with you in prayer as we pray these words…
“Oh Lord, Every protest, every picket and every petition has been a cry to you for justiceEvery lament, every tear and every sigh has been a cry to you for justice You are the God of justice. “Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;love and faithfulness go before you.” (Psalm 84:14) Justice belongs to you.
Today we pray for willing hearts to partner with you in the pursuit of justice.
We pray not just for ears to listen or eyes to see, but for hands to work and minds to think to bring about change for the better. Let this be more than a moment. Let this be a movement for change.
Oh Lord, we commit this prayer, our promises, and our plans for justice into your hands.
Amen.”
