Today in our prayers for the people of Iran.

Prayer for Peace

Norman W. Roy

Our heavenly creator,

Hear our words of anguish and our cry for peace; peace in our homes, our communities, and throughout the world.

Reach out, eternal God, with your love and compassion and bring the understanding our leaders need to stay on the course toward world peace.

Soften their hearts so they may feel compassion toward all humankind.

May their leadership be tempered with love and understanding, so that each person may live in peace and harmony.

May there truly be peace on earth, and goodwill to all.

Amen.
