God of peace,

Whose stillness calms our hearts.
Move in us to
Cease our arguments,
End our conflicts,
Lay our weapons down,
And broaden our tables
So there’s room for our neighbors.
Help us to see our common humanity.
To hear their concerns,
Listen to their fears and worries,
To believe in the mystery of Spirit,
We shall find a way to live in this world
Together.
Amen.

-Rev. Christopher Czarnecki, Charlotte, NC
