One Prayer From Each State For Our Nation For Fifty Days: Day 32
 
 
Jim Cymbala, Pastor of The Brooklyn Tabernacle in Brooklyn, New York:
 
 
 
 
“Hello, this is Pastor Jim Cymbala from The Brooklyn Tabernacle in New York City, and I’d love if you could join me in prayer.
 
Heavenly Father, we ask for extra grace for our country, especially along the lines, Lord, of racial tension being eased and the healing of all the toxic atmosphere that we have around us. We all come from the same Creator, and, God, help people to accept one another and not be prejudiced. We ask for an end to racism in any and every heart.
 
But God, You said that we are the light of the world, the church. We are the salt of the earth, and if the light is covered or the salt loses its flavor, what good is it? So we especially pray that Your people, the church of Jesus Christ, the holy nation that You’ve made us, that, God, we would lead the way in loving people of every background, every color, every ethnicity.
 
We know, God, that in Heaven, You said every nation, every tribe, and every tongue will be there. We pray that our churches will represent that, that the doors will be open for everyone that You died for, Jesus. How can we represent You if we don’t want people who You died for?
 
So we pray from the bottom of our heart, God. Let there be a baptism of agape love, Your love, so that we see people the way You see them, God, and we feel what You feel toward people and we don’t get caught up in our backgrounds and cultural genetics, so that we see people through the jaundiced eye, Lord, of our own personalities.
 
I pray, God, that there will be just an open-door policy in our hearts and in our churches, that we can lead the way and show the world that we love everyone because we belong to You.
 
Let this baptism of love begin now, we pray, in Jesus’ Name, amen.”
