Hello Friends,
I ask you to join me in prayer today for our nation, for Iran, the wider Middle East, and the whole world. Specific and horrific threats have been made. Great harm and suffering has already been inflicted.
Loving God, Prince of Peace, enfold us in your comfort and power. Turn the hearts and minds and actions of those who wage war. Embolden and empower those who use discernment and wisdom to further the cause of peace. Restrain those who act with vengeance and bluster. Protect the young, weak, and innocent. We pray this in the sure knowledge of your love which is stronger than any evil. Amen.
~ Rev. Karen A. Mendes
