Lord Jesus, Prince of Peace, we pray for Northern Ireland today.
Following the shocking attack on Monday night, and the violence and disorder seen in some communities last night, we pray for peace to return to our streets. We pray that all further violence will cease, and that no more people will be harmed, threatened, or driven from their homes.
We pray for the man injured in Monday's attack, for his family and loved ones, and for all those affected by this terrible incident.
We pray for the families who have been forced to leave their homes for safety, and for all those who feel frightened by recent events. We remember especially refugees, people seeking asylum, migrants, and ethnic minority communities, as well as all others who are living with fear and uncertainty today.
We pray for the police, firefighters, ambulance crews, and all emergency services responding to these incidents. Give them wisdom, courage, and protection.
We pray for community leaders, churches, and elected representatives seeking to bring calm and serve the good of the community.
We pray for truth and compassion in our conversations, both online and offline. Bring self-control where there is anger, understanding where there is fear, and peace where there is division.
Lord, have mercy on Northern Ireland, lead us in the way of peace. May every person here, regardless of their background or experience, will know Your peace and be safe tonight.
Amen.
