A prayer for togetherness and positivity
Prayer Tradition: African

Praise ye, Ngai* … Peace be with us.

Say that the elders may have wisdom and speak with one voice.

Peace be with us.

Say that the country may have tranquillity.

Peace be with us.

And the people may continue to increase.

Peace be with us.

Say that the people and the flock and the herds

May prosper and be free from illness.

Peace be with us.

Say that the fields may bear much fruit

And the land may continue to be fertile.

Peace be with us.

May peace reign over earth,

May the gourd cup agree with vessel.

Peace be with us.

May their heads agree and every ill word be driven out

Into the wilderness, into the virgin forest.

Praise ye, Ngai … Peace be with us.
