I pray for peace in the world,
for authenticity in ministry,
for mercy in service
for forgiveness in relationships,
for compassion in joy and in suffering,
for genuine sacrifice,
for Christ-like love,
and pure hearts in actions, thoughts, and words.
May we be true and open vessels for you, Lord,
allowing You --- in every moment ---
to work, speak, and be in us and though us.
May we open ourselves to hear your Will
and humble ourselves in order to carry it out.
Peace grant unto us, O Lord,
and may our understanding
and love of You ever serve
those who we encounter.
Peace be in our relationships,
Peace be in our homes,
Peace be in our communities,
Peace be in our cities,
Peace be in our nations,
Peace be in our world,
Peace be in our hearts,
for a peaceful heart truly is
an open vessel for God.
In Your Holy Name,
Amen.
