Prayer Offered for June 15, 2026

God of all peoples and nations, You show us the splendor of diversity and the beauty of unity. Make us, who come from many languages, genders, abilities, nations, orientations, and perspectives, a united body that delights in our many and varied gifts. Defend our liberties, and give those entrusted with authority the spirit of wisdom, that there might be a greater measure of justice and certain peace. Look with compassion on the whole of our state and nation; take away the arrogance and hatred that infect our hearts; break down the walls that separate us; unite us in bonds of love; and, through our struggle and confusion, enrich our unique calling with purpose and conviction. Namaste. Thanks be to God.—AMEN.
