Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice issued a powerful prayer asking God to bring peace and healing to the USA amid nationwide pain, anger and uncertainty following the violence in Minnesota, Baton Rouge, Dallas and in cities and countries around the world. She asked for protection for law enforcers and branches of the military and asked God to forgive the US for its ‘dark past’ of slavery and prejudice. Rice, a member of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church, led the congregation in prayer during a special service held to commemorate those recently slain. ‘Oh, dear Father, we come to you with heavy hearts. We come to you with confused minds, we come to you with sinking spirits. But we come to you knowing that we can always count on you. We are so grateful to have a friend in you to whom we can bring all of our concerns, all of our trials and tribulations. And we do that now.’ For the full prayer click the ‘More’ link.
