A prayer for peace
Come, Prince of Peace, and guide the hearts and minds of those in authority. May all who have been taken, or forced to leave, be returned to safety. May emergency equipment and supplies find their way to hospitals and places of refuge. Help all come to value forgiveness so this latest outbreak doesn’t cause further retrenchment of anger and dehumanisation of the ‘other’.
We pray for those we know who are sick or in need of our prayers.
