Prayer for the Healing of the Nations: Our Collective King Holiday Celebration

As we celebrate the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King and Mrs. Coretta Scott King, we are inviting you to join us as we gather locally, globally and virtually in a united Prayer for the Healing of the Nations. Beginning this weekend, Friday, January 18th - Sunday, January 20th at 5pm, we will be collectively and individually praying for the Healing of the Nations.


We invite you as you gather in and with your communities, your families, with yourself, to join together with us in solidarity, prayer and preparation. Whether you light a candle, breathe, fervently pray, set an intention for your yoga practice, set aside time in your worship service or just before your evening meal, we invite you to join us as we unite across the nation and world in prayer.


We remember in prayer our sisters and brothers in Kenya, in the Sudan, in South Africa, in Iraq, Israel-Palestine, Pakistan, Chicago, New York, Tennessee, Texas, New Hampshire, Nevada or Washington, D.C.. Wherever God's people are in need of healing, reconciliation, food, shelter, freedom from violence and indignity, we unite together in prayer that we may be empowered to act, serve and be helpful global citizens. If you will be joining us in this season of prayer and the sending of intentional healing and reconciliation energy, let us know. If you would like to list places and your requests as we pray together for the Healing of the Nations, please comment here.

We believe in the power of prayer. We believe in the power of collective intention and of course, action, for the Healing of the Nations. The fervent and effectual prayers of the righteous avail much! We pray your peace, joy, clarity and inspiratation. Thank you so much! And Happy New Year! It is indeed a new day!
