PRAYER:
Lord God almighty -- maker of heaven and earth -- we praise you. We glorify you. We give thanks to you for your great mercy and for your steadfast love.
Looking around us at the discord and strife among your creation (peoples of the earth) we kneel to ask your holy healing.
Teach us to live together in harmony
Help us to recognize your presence in the face of all peoples.
Teach us to truly love our neighbors, all our
neighbors, as we love ourselves.
Help us to love as you have loved us.
Lord God, we pray especially that you would guide and direct all leaders of the world to seek your will and to courageously live as servant leaders. We ask that you open their hearts to your good counsel.
May the our leaders and all peoples of the earth become ever more willing to care for the sick, feed the hungry and bring freedom to captives and relief to all who suffer oppression in every nation.
Lord, let us live lives that help "your will to be done and your kingdom to come on earth -- as it is in heaven."
