Protesters tore down and burned a Black Lives Matter sign and banner at two historic black churches during Saturday evening’s rallies as supporters of President Donald Trump and counterprotesters clashed in Washington, D.C.

Police said Sunday they were investigating what appeared to be potential hate crimes at Asbury United Methodist Church and Metropolitan A.M.E. Church where a BLM banner and sign were torn down, The Associated Press reported. . . .

The Rev. Dr. Ianther M. Mills, the senior pastor at Asbury church, compared the incident with “cross burnings.”. . .

Pastor William H. Lamar IV, who leads Metropolitan A.M.E. Church, said he was “speechless” when he was first informed about the vandalism.

He was told by Thomas Bowen, director of the D.C. mayor’s office of religious affairs, that members of the controversial far-right Proud Boys had torn down their BLM sign and stomped on it. . .

“This assault is but a foretaste of what is possible from these people. These people who are as far from God as the east is from the west, … who want their dehumanization to cause us to be less human but we will refuse as we have always done. We also will protect what our ancestors gave to us. … We will not be silent, we will not be intimidated, we will not be afraid.”

Thousands of Trump’s supporters, who argue that the presidential election was stolen from Trump, protested in downtown D.C. Saturday. Four people were stabbed and at least 33 people were arrested during clashes with counterprotesters. D.C. police said that it amounted to the most protest-related arrests in a single day since Aug. 13, during the George Floyd protests. . . .

Lord God. Bind the hands of those seeking violent ends. Guide groups like Proud Boys back to You so they stop muddling the message of Conservatives seeking righteous and Justice through You.

Bind the hands of all violent groups within the US. Have Your Spirit hover over them and correct them. Cause confusion within their ranks.

Have the US as a whole recognize that BLM has gone so far off the tracks that it is hurting the very ones they say they are trying to protect. Wake them up. Open their eyes. Help them see how they have been used and spit out like dirty rags. Bring them back to Your loving arms.

Have these violent criminals have a testimony of repentance and reformation in their future. Have them find a new, healthy, productive manner of letting their frustrations be known.

In Your Beautiful and Mighty name, we pray.Amen

Lord,

I pray against any violence or fire directed at churches. I pray for justice. I pray for the church to be able to unite during this time.

“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good” romans 12

I pray this verse over the church in this season of time.

Amen
