🙏🏾 Bring us back from the edge, O Lord, the edge where our humanity frays. Draw us closer to your everlasting light, as our lives are impacted again by the violence that pulses around us. Grant us wisdom to lower the guns and to eliminate the rhetoric which has become a relentless stream of violence. Provide us with words of hope where hope feels elusive and our desire for change seems long in coming.

Cleanse from us the toxic hate which fills our media, oozes into our town halls and public squares, and seeps into our schools and faith communities. May your love find us in new ways as we wrestle with the anger and animosity surrounding us.

We know that your light still shines, your path of peace remains close by, your Spirit is ever ready to guide us beyond the edge and into your love. Open our hearts to seek, find, and follow you. End the violence. Bring us back from the edge,
O Lord we pray. Amen.

-Rev. Dr. Karen Georgia A. Thompson
General Minister and President/CEO, UCC

"We will hold fast to love in places where hate invades. We will hold fast to compassion when cruelty reigns. We will hold fast to justice when power flaunts violence."

🙏🏾 Mothering God,

Peace means so many different things to people. But to the ones who wear the uniform and carry the weapons, it means everything. The soldier's prayer for peace is a selfish one - but for good reason. The one who suffers is the one who has to be the defensive force guarding the innocent.

Today, we ask for your guidance and strength, love and assurance, be with the men and women in every nation who are the peacekeepers in uniform. Hold them close when they face fear, give them grace when they fall short, remind them of your power always.

Peace and Shalom.

-Gary Mark Barraco, Easton, PA
