Prayer

Page H6049 · Official text

The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the following prayer: God, our judge, show us Your mercy and grant us Your peace this day. Judge between the nations and arbitrate among Your peoples, for these days are rife with discord around the world, among countrymen, and within our own communities. Beat the swords of war in Israel and Palestine, Iran and the Middle East, Russia and Ukraine into plowshares that they would prepare the soil for accord among enemies. Forge the spears of violence into tools of mediation that the fires of discontent would find no fuel and anger would no longer claim the lives of innocent people, especially schoolchildren. Settle the disputes among us wherever and however they are incited. Show us how we are to live. Let us know the goodness that is ours when we seek to dwell in harmony. Bestow Your blessing of peace on us this day, as we pray in the power of Your name. Amen.
