God of all Creation,

God who created each one of us,
God within us,
hear our prayer.

Remind us that we are all siblings in Your family, that we all share Your DNA, that we all have the same last name, ‘ChildofGod.’ Let us all recognize our commonality and keep the message of Your Golden Rule in our hearts, in our minds at all times, before we speak, before we act. Help us to overcome our initial reaction to things that disturb us, and treat others as we would want them to treat us. It’s the least we can do for a brother, for a sister, for our family, for Peace. Amen
