Prayers

Lord, let us sit around the table
And learn of
Peace
In the dialog of nations
And the stratagems of government
Where the ear of God is listening;

Lord, let us look unto this Earth
And learn of
Peace
As we look out through the windows
At the stirrings of our planet, as she makes
Accommodation
For the errors in our judgment
As we learn to better manage
Our inheritance;

Lord, let us look at our fellow man
And learn of
Peace
In the challenges of poverty
And the hand that measures wealth
May we befriend that Charity
That offers hope and education
Love and emancipation
For the sick and the oppressed;

Lord, let us look unto ourselves
And learn of
Peace
In the sanctuary of the family
Where the process is begun
Where parents teach their children
That the tolerance of the one
Begets the loving happiness of many;

It’s a big world, Lord;
Help us to live Your Word
And understand
That there’s

Room

For

Everyone

In it –



We ask this in Christ’s name,
Amen.
