A Prayer for World Peace
O Lord our God, who’s will is for us to live at peace with all people.
Whose will is to restore all things in your beloved Son, the King of all and the Prince of Peace.
You are the source of all goodness and love,
accept the fervent prayers of your people for the nations.
In the multitude of your mercies look with compassion
upon all who turn to you for help.
We ask that you govern the hearts and minds of those in authority in places where peace is challenged, and people’s lives are in turmoil. Where people are divided and torn apart by the ravages of sin.
Deliver us from a world without justice
and a future without mercy.
In your mercy, establish justice,
and in your justice, remember the mercy
revealed to us in Jesus Christ our Lord.
We pray that all people be subject to just and gentle rule
We ask for peace among nations,
Peace in towns and cities,
Peace in our homes, and most of all peace to reign supreme in our hearts.
God of love, turn our hearts to your ways
and give us your lasting peace.
For we ask this in the name of your dear son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
