Today in our prayers for the people of France.

Prayer for Peace

Bill Miner

Our loving God,

We come to you at this time desiring to bring about peace in our world.
The peace we desire need not be one total harmony, even as a musical piece may have discordant passages. For, as in music, out of harmony and discord emerges the composer’s dream.

The peace we desire is a constantly creative environment resulting from the synergy of the gifts, talents, and responses of all humanity.

The peace we desire is one in which we actively lead and participate in relieving human and environmental suffering. We feel that process must fundamentally be one of education.

We wonder, is this the peace you desire?

We ask for you to be our director and allow us to play your composition as you wish.

We ask you to help us listen to your will so your peaceful desires will also be ours.

We ask for the strength of your spirit to help us actively and energetically bring about this peace.

These things we pray through Jesus the Christ. Amen.
