Dearest Heavenly Father, You who have made all men in your likeness, and loves us all, please help man to realise we are seperating ourselves from you when we build walls of race and color. Teach us to follow the example of Your Son, who was born of a Hebrew mother, and rejoiced in the faith of a Syrian woman,a Roman soldier, and a man from Africa who carried His cross.Help us to realise that when Christ said, ''love thy neighbor'' He didn't just mean the neighbor who looks like us and worships like us. Let there be peace on Earth and let it begin with me. Amen

Racial Discrimination is nothing to do with GOD. Its us who formulate that word because of greediness and very ambitious mankind. We tend to demonstrate what Human being can do and its strength to society specifically when you have all the riches in this world. Blinded by the truth, that all things shall come to pass. Its very typical people discriminate you, by color,race,nationality,status of life. All these things happens for a reason. Al though GOD created human with own likeness also the language barrier. I slowly but surely understand how it comes to an end. I know in my heart, you experienced these inequalities boundary of Human. Sooner or Later you'll know the answers you've looking for.

I really enjoyed this prayer, it is in the will of God. Racial or any other prejudice against people is not Godly and will be judged by Him. Moses had an Egyptian wife, and when Aaron and Miriam mocked her, God judged them. ALL people are God's children, and should live as such. Alas, Satan causes many to doubt God's word, and then we run into these problems of race and whatever else. The bigot should stop and consider his ways, while he still has time to do so. God will not forever strive with the heart of foolish men.

Amen I love your prayer, I'm a Filipina and even though I haven't been to other countries I'm aware of the racial discrimination for us Pinoys, I think this should not be, we should all come to terms that we all deserve to live in this world, even those who doesn't believe in God should accept that, we all exist and therefore we have the same rights, no exemptions...

I couldn't agree with you more. We should love all good people, rich, poor, needy, etc. We should not look at color of the skin. I do believe that all is created equal and we should treat them as such and the world would be a better. Amen to the most high.
