Here’s a peace litany from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
Litany
of Peace with Justice
Lord,
so many people are in pain,
Teach us the way to
peace.
When
people around us don’t agree and think differently,
Lord, teach us to
listen and understand.
When
we see people getting hurt,
Lord, teach us to
speak up.
When
we see people who are hungry and poor,
Lord, teach us to
give to them like you give to us.
When
we see people treated poorly because of their skin color or language,
Lord, teach us to be
an example of love.
When
we see war and conflict around the world,
Lord, teach us how to
make a difference and bring peace.
When
we see pain,
Lord, teach us to
bring healing.
When
we feel low and things don’t seem to be going well,
Lord, teach us to
talk to our friends, our family and to you.
When
we stop and see all you have given us.
Lord, teach us to be
thankful.
In
our lives, our neighborhoods and the world
Lord, teach us to
pray and teach us the way to peace.
