Prayer for Peace
God our heavenly Father, your beloved son Jesus, made this promise to the Apostles “Peace, I leave you, my peace I give you, not as the world gives, do I give to you”
We know that worldly peace can be often conditional, fragile and temporary but you promise something better and greater than just the absence of conflicts and war. You offer us lasting peace, as the prince of peace and the source of all peace.
Send us your heavenly peace, new and everlasting. May it flood our entire world and all peoples. May your peace drive far away all hatred, unforgiveness, revenge and retaliation and transform those who stoke agitation, disharmony and tension into envoys of peace.
May we all experience and know what your true peace is. May it put into our hearts and minds a serenity and tranquility that frees us from anxiety and fear confusion and doubt, despair and despondency so that we all may live in peace with ourselves and each other. Amen.
