Today in our prayers for the people of Antigua and Barbuda.

Prayer for Peace

Katie Harmon-McLaughlin

God of Life and Peace,

I pray for peace for all our global neighbors–
...With and without homes
...With and without food
...Young and old
...Refugee and resident
...In good health and ill
...Cast aside and included.

May we encounter their stories and share our own—forming mutuality.

May these fervent yearnings and prayers for peace take root in our hearts and spread like a vine,

Sprawling, reaching, climbing, spiraling, crowding out anything besides your vision of peace for individuals, families, communities, and our world.

I yearn for this awakening—

Use us to make this real.

Amen.
