A Prayer For Peace

 



In this troubling time, we offer a prayer for peace from The Very Revd Canon Richard Sewell of Saint George's College, Jerusalem: 


O God of all justice and peace, we cry out to you in the midst of the pain and trauma of violence and fear which prevails in the Holy Land.

Be with those who need you in these days of suffering; we pray for people of all faiths - Jews, Muslims and Christians, for all people of the land.

While we pray to you, O Lord, for an end to violence and the establishment of peace, we also call for you to bring justice and equity to the peoples. Guide us into your kingdom where all people are treated with dignity and honour as your children, for to all of us, you are our Heavenly Father.

In Jesus' name we pray.

Amen.
