Today in our prayers for the people of Canada.

Prayer for Peace

Linda Shaull

Lord, show me the way to bring peace to this troubled community that I live in. Awaken the concern in my soul, that I might not stand by unaware of my surroundings. Let me shout my disapproval of the violence and drugs through compassion. Give me the courage to listen to people in their times of confusion. Help me to assist them in their search for answers to make wise decisions. Show me the way to be a good friend.

Remind us to pray continually for those in other countries who live in the midst of everyday violence and depression. Open our eyes to other ways of promoting peace. We feel there is no way for us to help because of the distance between our countries, but we know prayer changes things. Let us pray and listen for your voice to guide us to new possibilities.

Fashion us into peacemakers. Let our labors begin today in our own communities. In Christ name and for peace. Amen.
