September 21 has been designated as the International Day of Peace by the United Nations.
Here’s a prayer for peace from the Christian
Aid website.
We Seek a New Order
Loving God of power and justice and peace,
In our broken world
we seek a new order
where there is courage to speak truth to power
where there is courage to speak truth to power
we seek a new order
where there is mutual support in church and community
where there is mutual support in church and community
we seek a new order
where there is abundant time for healing
where there is abundant time for healing
we seek a new order
where there is peace and freedom for all
where there is peace and freedom for all
