Public Witness

Public Witness Weekly Prayer from The Episcopal Public Policy Network, February 20, 2026

For Visibility of the LGBTQ+ Community

God of love, who gathers us in remembrance of your Son and sends us forth in justice, we pray for the safeguarding of this nation’s LGBTQ+ history.

When symbols that mark our past are hidden away, human rights and dignity are threatened.

We come to you asking for wisdom and guidance as we seek to be just stewards of our stories and active participants in your work of freedom and flourishing for all.

Make us advocates for a safe and free public square that does not silence the marginalized, and help the governing authorities to remember that our flourishing is dependent upon our ability to celebrate one another as bearers of your image.

We give thanks for church leaders who have advocated for the rights of LGBTQ+ people.

Grant us all the courage to follow in their example.

All this we ask through the power of your love made incarnate. Amen.
