Today in our prayers for the people of Nepal.

Prayer for Peace

Enid S. DeBarthe

Divine creator of all beings,

In quiet reverence, we humbly acknowledge our joyful gratitude for the life, intelligence, potential, agency, and worth of each other and all persons. Help us recognize and appreciate our commonalties as well as our diversity of beliefs, values, and gifts.

May each one experience your in-dwelling presence, guiding, comforting, sustaining, healing and enlarging our capacity to respond to your will in our lives.
Help each of us understand how others feel, care, and need the love we have for them. May we care enough to earnestly develop the will and skill for truly listening to each other so that we can bring healing and reconciliation in all relationships.

Help us incarnate hope, love, joy and peace in all our interactions so that peace in our world may become a reality for all time and for all people of this Earth that you so dearly love. Amen.
