And I can\u2019t pretend to understand or experience the pain his family feels or even the pain and fear and anger my African-American friends feel every time yet another story comes out about a terribly similar injustice.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>I cannot heal the wounds of social divisions. I cannot repair hatred. I cannot reverse time and restore the lives of Eric Garner or Tamir Rice or Freddie Gray or George Floyd or the many other beloved human beings who have died in similar ways. But I also refuse to continue to make excuses for the distance I keep in my heart. And I refuse to continue to look away.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Present in Suffering<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>I believe in a God named Emmanuel, God-with-us. I believe this same God who came to live with us and to suffer with us, gives us this same capacity to love one another.<\/p>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-coblocks-click-to-tweet\"><p class=\"wp-block-coblocks-click-to-tweet__text\">I can enter into this suffering.

When we cannot fix, cannot cure, cannot change the circumstances. When we feel helpless and hopeless and powerless. When we want to make everything right and nothing is right. We can still choose to be present in suffering. We can choose to not look away, not walk away, but to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>I did not know George Floyd or his family. But I know that my African-American friends are hurting and grieving today. I know they are tired and angry and scared. I know that many of them have felt abandoned by many of us who call ourselves their \u201cbrothers and sisters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>By naming the injustice of this reality, the grievous injustice\u2014I can participate in this suffering. I can pray for repair.

And for those of us who do not live out the daily experiences of injustice and the heartbreak it brings, it is easy to turn our faces away precisely because of how powerless we feel in the face of historic and systemic problems. We are called instead to offer ourselves as companions in the suffering, to be present to the pain, to touch the powerlessness and hopelessness and despair, and to hold fast to the power of love to rectify, to bless, and to heal.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n<h3>Resources<\/h3>\n\n\n<p><em>To read further with Amy Julia in learning how to be present:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amyjuliabecker.com\/five-first-steps-toward-participating-in-racial-healing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Five First Steps toward Participating in Racial Healing<\/a><\/strong><em> at AmyJuliaBecker.com<\/em><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2TNBx3G\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>White Picket Fences<\/strong><\/a><em> by Amy Julia Becker at NavPress.com<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-author\"><figure class=\"wp-block-coblocks-author__avatar\"><img class=\"wp-block-coblocks-author__avatar-img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/BECKER-Author-Photo-bordered.png\" alt=\"Amy Julia Becker\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-author__content\"><span class=\"wp-block-coblocks-author__name\">Amy Julia Becker<\/span><p class=\"wp-block-coblocks-author__biography\">You&#8217;ve been reading with <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/tag\/amy-julia-becker\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Amy Julia Becker<\/strong><\/a>, author of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2TNBx3G\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><em>White Picket Fences<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.
