A Prayer from South Africa

God,

How wonderful it is, how pleasant,

to be healed of the corrosive disease of racism and separation;

and to live as your people together in harmony.

Your Spirit will then fill the hearts and the minds of all people.

Nobody will be judged any more on the basis of race or colour;

but all will be ruled with justice and integrity.

The war will end and the people together will rebuild the country.

There will be no reference to the colour of the skin,

for all will be regarded as the people of God,

the people created in your image.

And this will be the beginning of what you have promised –

the life that never ends.
