I've listed 7 sites for you to visit, and 7 sites where you will learn.

Spend the 7 days in this week with just 7 minutes finding out more and implementing what you discover to help heal our nation. We need to promise to do something to bring our people together so that all are safe, and all are included in the opportunity and equality that America has promised.

You begin this Monday, with me, and we'll spend the rest of the days this week, doing the work that we as human beings must do for each other.

7 days, 7 worthwhile places where you will step back into the world doing your part to encourage, teach, inspire, spread hope, and put into practice being a better human being.

Begin today, share these sites, talk about what you read together.

I'll see you back here in 7 days.

I can't wait to hear how we are no longer going to just shake our heads. We are going to work to do things right.

We Grow Tired, We Grow Weary

Jehovah Shalom, today we feel like giving up.

Our spirits feel weak and filled with despair. We are trying our best to keep pushing and moving forward, to take the next step.

Provide the grace, strength, and faith we need to reach our destination. Let your face guide us that we may walk and not faint.

2 Corinthians 4:8-10 – We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.

Lift our weary spirits, so we may stand on mountains and walk on the stormy seas.

Make our feet like the feet of deer, and set us on high places.

*Prayer for Times of Despair
