Prayer 693- Cultivate Peace


We kneel before You, O Holy One, in gratitude for your protection and love. O God, You not only shelter us from the storm, but give us strength to confront the winds that swirl about us. May all our ways be blameless before You, and may we seek to repent of our folly. 

May the balm of your love pour down like oil from the crown of our heads: may we be anointed to your service today. May your wisdom take up a home in our souls, and may your compassion fill our hearts to overflowing. May we treasure those that love us, and never cast aside those who are kind to us. May we hold fast to your promise of mercy, and encompass the cares of others within our own hearts. 

We place our prayers within your hands, O Savior: breathe your Spirit of Peace upon those we place before You.

Amen.
