Persistence

Faithful and steadfast God, please bless every person who persists in talking about the sin of racism that plagues us. In our broken state, we are eager to be deceived, and so we willingly accept nonsense. We imagine that speaking about racism is impolite, and thereby allow racism to flourish.

Thank you, God, that Coretta Scott King persisted in speaking and writing about racism, using her voice and pen to tell the truth and shame the devil.

I ask that you guard and protect Senator Elizabeth Warren. Place around her a hedge against evil. Grant her eloquence; incline the ears of many towards her. Bless her speech with power and her soul with an unyielding dedication to the truth. May she be an example to her peers, and to us, that it may be said of us, "nevertheless, they persisted."
