A Prayer of Peace: December 11

published on Dec 11, 2021

Let us pray:

Creator God,
The earth wails in turmoil
The seas, skies, and land moan from misuse and neglect
Strengthen us to face our complicity
Extend mercy upon us as we strive to do better and be better siblings to creation
Grant us grace to participate in your restoration and peace. Amen

Written by Rev. Dr. Cheryl A. Lindsay, Sermon Seeds writer and editor

This prayer is part of a series of daily reflections for Advent 2021.
