Holy One, We ask for you to rain down peace on our world. Where there is family conflict, heal the rift, where there is community conflict bring folks together to listen and learn from one another, where there are countries at odds- fill the hearts of those in power with a desire for peace above all else. Breathe into us a passion for justice everywhere for everyone. Fill each one of us with the tools we need to create small ripples of peace that will move out into the world, connecting with other ripples, until the whole world enjoys the peace-filled kin-dom you desire. Amen.
