Prayer 626- For peace and justice in turbulent times


Lead us, O Holy One, with the banner of your love ever before us. Guide us to the pathways of peace, paved with justice and mercy, smoothed by the pilgrim feet that have gone before us. Strengthen us for this day's journey, that we may not turn aside or falter in doing your will. 

Help us bridge the chasms that divide us, and be united in love and brotherhood. Give us wisdom gentled by compassion, that we may show out your glory in all we do. Turn our hearts to the concerns of those in pain, suffering, anxiety, or want. 

Press your healing hand upon the brow of each beloved child who calls out to you.

Amen.
