Prayer for World Peace…

Do everything with a mind that lets go.
Do not expect any praise or reward.
If you let go a little, you will have a little peace.
If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace.
If you let go completely, you will know complete peace and freedom.
Your struggles with the world
will have come to [...]

Prayer for World Peace…

“… Move beyond any attachment to names.” Every war
and every conflict between human beings has happened because
of some disagreement about
names. It’s such an unnecessary foolishness, because just
beyond the arguing there’s a long
table of companionship, set and waiting for us to sit down.

What is praised is one, so the praise is one too,

Prayer for World Peace…

Today I purpose to live
My life will shine
As the morning sings
I walk in liberty
Bound in true dreams
Manifested promises
Chase my forward motion
A covered path before me
The fruits of my hoping
The fruits of my living
Today I purpose to love
My love will speak
With the sound of grace
Merciful within mercy
The works of my faith
Smiles of overflowing
Inspire my giving
Abundance of [...]

Prayer for World Peace…

O Thou kind Lord!
O Thou Who art generous and merciful!
We are the servants of Thy threshold and are gathered
beneath the sheltering shadow of Thy divine unity.
The sun of Thy mercy is shining upon all,
and the clouds of Thy bounty shower upon all.
Thy gifts encompass all,
Thy loving providence sustains all,
Thy protection overshadows all, and the glances [...]

Prayer for World Peace…

God of all,
as we walk together,  
Open our hearts
To your tenderness.  
Open our minds
To your understanding.  
Open our lives
To your challenge.  
We are one people, many nations,
Building hope through steps for peace.  
One world with many barriers,
Breaking chains so we dance free.  
One voice that shouts for justice
Shatters hatred, calls for change.  
One God, one world, one people,
Turning tables, share the feast.  
Amen

Prayer for World Peace…

When I despair,
I remember that all through history
the ways of truth and love have always won.
There have been tyrants, and murderers,
and for a time they can seem invincible,
but in the end they always fall.
Think of it - always.

mahatma gandhi - early 20th century
