The nation is reeling from the murder of George Floyd, the destruction caused, and chaos endured over the past few nights. While there is clearly right and wrong here, when emotions are this intense it is difficult to find solutions, both immediate and long term, that will calm the situation. While there are some laws and policies that can be enacted to aid in this, the biggest changes that must be made are those of the heart. When it comes to that, there is only one thing that works: communicating with Jesus in prayer. Jesus said, “Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” Personal prayer changes hearts, corporate prayer changes communities, and family prayer changes the next generation. Today, commit to praying with your family over this to lift up the nation for healing, the Floyd family for comfort, and all those who feel victimized to be heard and loved.

“Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” — Matthew 18:19-20 ESV
