Here’s a
prayer for peace from the World Council of Churches.
Prayer for Peace
O Lord,
you love
justice and you establish peace on earth.
We bring
before you the disunity of today's world;
the absurd
violence, and the many wars,
which are
breaking the courage of the peoples of the world;
human greed
and injustice,
which breed
hatred and strife.
Send your
spirit and renew the face of the earth;
teach us to be
compassionate towards the whole human family;
strengthen the
will of all those
who fight for
justice and for peace,
and give us
that peace which the world cannot give.
All: Amen.
