Global Prayer on Day of Prayer
At our local National Day of Prayer, I offered the Global prayer. Here is my prayer…
O God, you remind us daily that we are all connected in one global community. What happens in one corner of our planet touches our lives and our choices affect the whole. Help us to see our political borders and divisions as human constructions and not part of your divine creation and plan.
Grant us the grace to be better stewards of your creation and better neighbors. May each of us continue to seek justice in all our relationships, wisdom in all our ideas and attitudes and peace in our hearts and in our world.
I pray today for each of the over 6.7 billion members of our world-wide community. Touch each life with your righteousness and love. May each one know your life-giving presence in some way today.
