NAIDOC Week Prayer

Lord Jesus, You are our Faithful One, our Redeemer and our King. 

You are the Creator of all peoples, the Maker of community, the Protector of the vulnerable, and the Keeper of every promise.

Your love is steadfast through every generation. 

Your justice is unwavering, and Your mercy knows no end. 

You call us into relationship with You and with one another, and all creation, teaching us how to walk together in love, truth, and peace.

As we celebrate 50 years of NAIDOC, we give thanks for the deadly strength, culture, wisdom, and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. 

We honour the ways You have sustained communities, cultures, and faith through times of joy and hardship.

Lord Jesus, help us walk together in Your love.
