Today in our prayers, we remember the people of Togo.
Prayer for Peace
Klaas Kaat
Our Creator God,
We praise your name and stand in awe of what you have done. Astronauts have marveled at the beauty of the planet Earth—our home in your universe—and became silent as reverence and peace stirred their souls. In juxtaposition they became aware—as we are today—of the arbitrary borders and divisions between persons; the lust for power, the naked aggression.
God, we plead this day that the hearts of all people might be softened, that distrust and hatred might melt away and that your healing Spirit will supplant the self-serving intolerance and desperate dogmatic views of many.
Yea, that the love and peace emanating from you might awaken all of us to our interconnectedness and to the nurturing of unifying, wholesome relationships.
In the name of our Lord of Peace, Jesus the Christ. Amen.
