Condoleezza Rice Prays for Peace, Unity: Powerful Faith

Leah Marieann Klett : Jul 14, 2016  The Gospel Herald

"We pray ... that each and every one of us will leave this place justified by faith and secure and confident in Your deep, deep love for us, and that from that confidence and security of our relationship with You, we will go out into the world as instruments of Your peace, as instruments of the reconciliation that You seek for us, as instruments of Your love. That each and every day we will search our hearts and ask that we can be a blessing to one another as You have been a blessing to us." – Condoleezza Rice

(Menlo Park, CA) — [The Gospel Herald] Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice issued a powerful prayer asking God to bring peace and healing to the United States amid the pain, anger, and uncertainty seen nationwide following the shooting deaths of Philando Castile, Alton Sterling, and five police officers who were gunned down in Dallas, Texas.

Over the weekend, Rice, a longtime member of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church in Menlo Park, California, 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," she began. "We come to You with confused minds, we come to You with sinking spirits. But we come to You, too, knowing that we can always count on You. We are so grateful, as a people and as a church, 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."

Rice prayed for the victims of violence in Minnesota, Baton Rouge, Dallas, and in cities and countries around the world. She also asked God to protect those in law enforcement and various branches of the military who "defend us on the frontlines of freedom."

Rice, who currently serves as the Denning Professor in Global Business and the Economy at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, asked God to forgive the United States for its "dark past" of slavery and prejudice.
