God of all humanity,
We live in a world filled with conflict, seemingly never ending tensions between individuals and nations.
Ralph Waldo Emerson observed that "the reason why the world lacks unity, and lies broken and in heaps, is, because man is disunited with himself."
If we can not first find a sense of peace and wholeness within ourselves, how can we be at one with others?
May it be Your will O God, that each of us may find a sense of contentment and joy with ourselves, even as we become more open and accepting of each other.
May this be God`s will. AMEN.
