Personal Prayer
Praise the Lamb, Jesus Christ, who with his blood “purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation” (Rev. 5:9). Thank the Lord that he covenanted with Abraham long ago and that you have the blessing of being part of God’s own people. Confess any tendencies that you have to judge people by color, ethnicity, or background. Commit yourself to showing no favoritism, just as God shows none (Acts 10:34). Ask that you will do your part in the kingdom of priests who serve God (Rev. 5:10).

For Your Family and Friends
Give thanks for the gifts, abilities, and perspectives of those whom God has given to you, and ask his blessing upon them.

For the Church
Pray that the worshipers of your own church body will have a sense of the church as it gathers in many places throughout your community and the world. Pray that you and your fellow believers will not be cliquish or divisive.

For the Kingdom
Ask that the power of racism in our society will be broken, and that Christians will lead the way in this.

For People to Know Jesus
Pray that specific non-Christians around you will understand that God looks upon the heart, and that they will seek to have their hearts made right through Christ.
