Prayer of Petition:
We Seek a New Order
(inspired by John 18:37)
Pilate
asked him, "So you are a king?"
Jesus
answered, "You say that I am a king.
For this I
was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth.
Everyone
who belongs to the truth listens to my voice." (John 18:37)
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
We seek a new order
Where there is mutual support in church and community
We seek a new order
Where there is abundant time for healing
We seek a new order
Where there is peace and freedom for all
