Prayers
for Lent 2007
Week Three
Prayer for
Peace
All: Lord, God of Peace, help us and
help all nations to
let go of grudges
and
any bitter memories that cloud our vision.
(spend
some moments in silent prayer)
Help
us heal our broken relationships
with all humankind
and with the earth.
(spend
some moments in silent prayer)
Help
heal whatever is broken in our lives
so that we may see beyond
our fences
and our national borders.
(spend
some moments in silent prayer)
Help
us see beyond these borders so that we may not shut out
our neighbors near or far.
(spend
some moments in silent prayer)
Keep
us from labeling people by religion,
accents, gender, skin
color or sexual preference.
(spend
some moments in silent prayer)
Let
us share the joys and feel the sorrows of our neighbors.
Help us to love You and our
neighbors as we love ourselves.
