Today in our prayers for the people of the Sudan.

Prayer for Peace

Brittany Mangelson

Loving God, we come humbly to you united in prayer. As your children, we recognize your Spirit dancing in and through us and ask that we might continue to rest in that awareness. Today, God, we pray for peace, and we pray our hearts will be filled with boundless mercy for all creation. God, we know there is much brokenness in this world and understand we can be your hands and feet in restorative, divine justice. Though we speak many languages and come from many lands, our mission is the same. Grant us, oh God, the sensitivity to discern where your love is needed most and help us find the courage to respond to the Spirit’s pulse in our lives and in our communities.

Let us continue the way, carrying a constant prayer of personal mindfulness and outreaching grace. We know peace among your people requires us to live in harmony with the diversity all around us. We your children must be open to new experiences that bridge the gaps between cultures and communities. Help us lead with love to be instruments of your peace in a fractured world. Help us make sense of the chaos. Help us find stillness in the noise. Be with us as we live out our discipleship, ministering your light to those in darkness. Help us be one. Help us see that we are engulfed in your love always.

In Jesus’s name we pray. Amen.
