Prayer for Peace

Dora Wahl

Light of the world,

We praise you and recognize you as the life and light of our spirit. We thank you for your loving presence and for all the blessings you have given us. Now, dear Creator, we would pray with many others praying for and seeking peace in our world. We know there is confusion and anxiety, injustice, hate, and violence causing so much suffering to your lovely creation. We would ask a special blessing on all who work to relieve that suffering. We ask for a blessing from the leaders of nations. Grant them wisdom and patience as they make decisions of peace. Help them to work in harmony as they strive to find ways to deal with the many difficult problems of living together in our complex world. Soften the hearts of those who would use violence to settle disputes.

Touch our hearts with Christ’s compassion. Give us eyes to see the path of peace that we must follow. Every facet of our lives helps us to show that path.

May we show your love for all. May we keep before us the vision of your kingdom of peace. We ask this in the name of the prince of peace, even your son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.
