Today in our prayers for the people of Luxembourg.

Prayer for Peace

Pam Robison

We call you many names—

God

Allah

Great Spirit—

and sometimes we forget we are all part of the same family.

We call our homes by different names—

America

Bosnia

Japan

Fiji—

and focus on the boundaries that separate us.

Help us to see the world from your perspective—

remind us of the view we have seen from space—

one planet

with divisions only of land, sky, ocean.

Creator,

Our thoughts are on the things that unite us.

Let us not focus on boundaries or divisions.

Help us rejoice in our diversity—

knowing that you have made each of us a unique creation.

Loving parent,

Draw us closer to you.

Enfold us in your arms.

Grant us the peace of a family united in one goal—

the peaceable kingdom

Long prayed for, long hoped for. Amen.
