Almighty God
Show us what is right and proper and keep us on it.
Show us what is wrong and improper and keep us away from it.
Help us raise good families and help us keep our connection with You.
Our Lord
Forgive those who have passed away and bless the lives of the living.
Help those who are weak ─ men, women and children.
Heal those who are sick, give homes to the homeless, water to the thirsty, food to the hungry.
Bring justice to the oppressed.
Heal those who are wounded, reduce the pain and suffering of those who have lost their loved ones.
Give comfort to their families and bring all the wars and conflicts to an end.
Merciful God, Loving God,
Bring peace to the world ─ We are all Your children, we need to know one another, recognize the goodness in one another and live in greater harmony, help us lead better lives.
Where there is hatred, bring love.
Where there is conflict, bring resolution.
Where there is tyranny, bring justice.
Where there is despair, bring hope.
Where there is darkness, bring light.
Where there is sadness, bring joy.
And make us instruments of peace.
Our Cherisher, Our Sustainer,
Give us understanding of Your teachings ─ so that, we as citizens of this planet, may create a harmonious earth for all people, for all faiths, for all nations, for all communities. Guide us to Your path, and keep all us in Your Guidance, in Your Love and in Your Mercy. And help us become instruments of peace.─AMEN.
