What is helpful is to thank God for what we have: a city that owns up to problems and seeks to deal with them; a police force continually trying to improve its policies and strategies, admitting that it can always do it better; protesters who obey the law, and call for justice, not mob rule; city leaders who are sincere in trying to listen attentively to all sides, to affirm what's right, and reform what isn't, and religious leaders who bring people together to pray, encourage, and seek justice.
