For Those Live in Terror #LetUsPray*: A Weekly Centering Prayer for These Turbulent Times—

For those who live in terror today, we pray
For those who must hide their terror, we pray
For those who have known terror for generations, we pray
And for those who have chosen to reign terror upon others, we pray.

God, in the face of struggle, the world tells us
be resilient
be brave
do not be afraid
just move on already

You know that terror and fear are real
terror traumatizes
terror intimidates
terror menaces
terror paralyzes

God, be present with your beloved
however and wherever terror is felt

be with individuals who live in terror
with the stranger who lives in terror of isolation
with the friend who lives in terror of violence
and with everyone who lives in terror of the unknown.

be with families who live in terror
with the guardian who lives in terror that they will not come home
with the child who lives in terror that their parent will not return
with anyone who lives in terror of the abuser in their home.

be with communities who live in terror
with those who live in terror of gun violence
with those who live in terror of economic betrayal
and with those whose terror has been ignored.

be with those who live in terror of poverty
the terror of hunger
the terror of eviction
and the terror of sickness.

be with those held captive by institutions of terror
the terror of incarceration
the terror of environmental injustice
and the terror of militarism.

be with those to dismiss the terrorized
the privileged
the powerful
and the perpetrators.

and be with those who terrorize
may they know Your presence in their lives
may their souls break open to see You in others
and may they have the courage to resist
when powers and principles call upon them to terrorize again.

For all these things we pray.

— AMEN

*#LetUsPray is a way that I stay anchored amidst the turmoil of the day via The Amalgamation Newsletter at www.reyes-chow.com. For paid subscribers, I also offer some liturgical resources and sermon prompts based on the week's readings from The Revised Common Lectionary and/or The Narrative Lectionary.

Each offering is written on Wednesday and published on Thursday
