Prayer for an end to political discord

This prayer was written in response to the EU Referendum, but it rings true for the rest of us, too.

Prayer

Eternal God, Light of the nations,
in Christ you make all things new:
guide our nation in the coming days
through the inspiration of your Spirit,
that understanding may put an end to discord and all bitterness.

Give us grace to rebuild bonds of trust
that together we may work for the dignity and flourishing of all;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
