Today in our prayers for the people of Nepal.

Prayer for Peace

Steve Bolie

Transcendent and immanent God, today we join all heaven and earth in praising you. We rejoice in the beauty of the Earth, the joy of human love, peace on Earth, every gift sent from above, every flower, each day the Spirit sends.

Please accept our efforts of praise. In the peace of Jesus, you give us the freedom to rejoice. Our spirits are calmed as they merge with your Spirit. We gain hope even in the midst of conflict, even as we face the possibility of serious disease. Patient God, accept and forgive our impatience. Calm our worried minds. Help us moderate our urgencies. Help us rest in your peace in the name of Jesus. Amen.
