Do you know people who are experts in tearing down a wall? I´m not talking about construction workers who, equipped with hammer, pickaxe, and shovel, remove stones. Although their work is important, I’m talking about a different kind of worker: people who are removing mental obstacles through their pure and determined thinking and their clear conviction that each man, child, and woman, as God´s beloved child, is destined to be free.
The fall of the Berlin Wall 25 years ago moved and changed the world. Nowadays it is being acknowledged that prayer played a powerful role in the events at the time. It’s fair to say that these prayers caused a change of consciousness without which the peaceful removal of the wall wouldn’t have been possible.
This event will continue to inspire people all over the world who face limits imposed by walls—be these walls mental, physical, or social.
