Today in our prayers for the people of Czech Republic.

Prayer for Peace

Juanita Zion

O God of peace and reconciliation, we praise you for teaching us about love and how it heals our relationships. Thank you for your powerful demonstration of Divine Love that places eternal value on each and every person. As we recognize your presence and experience your love for us, help us to radiate your love, thereby bringing healing to our cities, our nations, and all your beloved creation. Open our hearts to bring a ministry of love. Through Jesus Christ, Amen.

God of the Universe, you are the Gracious Giver, Architect of Life and Love. What holy places you have crafted! From continent to continent your presence fills each country, culture, creature. All places, populations, and people are proof of your goodness. This Earth is your handiwork and a sanctuary for life!

May we go from here upholding the truth that goodness is always stronger than evil, love is forever stronger than hate, resurrection has overcome death. May we be foolish for Christ, willing to be awkward, to appear insignificant in the name of love.

May we trust in the mystery and strength of trivial acts of kindness. May we emerge from the maddening crowd, as people who choose hope over fear. May we be willing to create and live as alternative peace communities.

Spirit of Hope, we give you our lives and our hearts. Amen.
