Prayer: A New Vision


Here’s a prayer of petition and commitment from the Church of Scotland’s Worship page.

Prayer

O God, our Heavenly Father,
give us a vision of our world as Your love would make it:

a world where the weak are protected
and none go hungry or poor;

a world where the benefits of civilized life are shared,
and everyone can enjoy them;

a world where different races, nations and cultures
live in tolerance and mutual respect,

a world where peace is built with justice,
and justice is guided by love;

and give us the inspiration and courage to build it,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.
