Today in our prayers for the people of French Polynesia.
Prayer for Peace
Lu Mountenay
Creator God,
We call on your presence, knowing you are already with us.
And yet our call is not unheard.
We ask you to bless us, knowing you have blessed us many times over.
And yet we do not ask in vain.
We request you to strengthen our faith,
and our faith is stronger even as we speak.
We praise you for your grace,
and are forgiven even as we sing “Glory to God.”
We cry to you for a peace that passes understanding,
and we understand, even as we weep.
We grasp the humble hem of Christ’s robe to dry our eyes,
knowing your love spills in our salty tears.
We respond by inviting others,
knowing you have prepared a place for them at the table.
