God of justice and presence,
When the noise rises—
when fear is used as a tool,
and spectacle masquerades as truth—
help us to listen for what is real.
Remind us that resistance is not always loud.
Sometimes it is the quiet courage to stay soft
in a world that hardens everything.
Sometimes it is the refusal to abandon relationship
even when power demands it.
Steady us in our seeing.
Keep us from becoming mirrors of the systems we oppose.
And teach us to be interruptors of harm,
not just through protest, but through the kind of love
that refuses to disappear.
Amen.
