Peace
Prayers
Lead me from death to life,
from falsehood to truth.
Lead me from despair to hope,
from fear to trust.
Lead me from hate to love,
from war to peace.
Let peace fill our heart,
our world, our universe.
Peace. Peace. Peace.

Compassionate God,
when we find ourselves in darkness,
it is difficult to hope.
But then we see a distant flicker of light,
and a tinge of hopefulness opens up new paths.
Show us new pathways of compassion and lovingkindness. Bring hope and faith in times of despair.
Reconcile and restore
with your gentle but powerful
presence and love.
Amen.

God of Everything,
blanket the anxiety of our world
with your compassionate warmth and grace –
giving hope to the hopeless,
strength to the saddened,
and abiding peace to all.
May the beauty of your goodness
shine bright everyday through the darkness,
and may we know to look to you
for those things which can only be seen
through your eyes.
Protect the brave and sustain the courageous.
It is in you that we live,
through you that we love,
and because of you that hope will continue,
now and always.
Hear our prayer.
Amen.
