Today in our prayers for the people of United Arab Emirates.

Prayer for Peace

Ila H. Purcell

Oh God of love and peace, our thoughts reach out to honor and praise your holy name. We entreat your remembrance of all humanity throughout your creation. We entreat your remembrance of the many suffering in lands across the seas. Join our thoughts with their thoughts for loving compassion to motivate a new desire to be your family of nations. May you free us of all envy and lust in our self-centeredness so that we might have peaceful relationships with your spirit in our midst. Seal this blessing, I pray thee. Amen.
