Today in our prayers for the people of Lithuania.
Prayer for Peace
Megan Nicholas
Sacred Companion,
Amidst the noise and demands of everyday life, it is easy for us to get distracted and lose our way on the path to God. Worry, war and strife creep in, beating at our spirits. But you are there with us, even in the darkness, reminding us that your presence stretches over all—even to the ends of the Earth. You give us peace of mind, heart, and soul when we are lost in the middle of our own troubles.
Today, Lord, we gather to humbly ask your blessing—not only upon this group of people and our needs, but for those seeking your peace in many other places throughout the world.
For those who have turned away from you in the past, that they may be reminded of your strength and love and find renewed hope for their future.
For all those, Lord, who are tired and sick—in body or in mind—and for those who have the power to help them, that they might be moved to share their gifts with those who so desperately need them.
Help us, Lord, to recognize the path we need to take to bring about your kingdom of peace here in ourselves, our communities and on Earth. Amen.
