Prayer for Peace and Justice

O God of all people of the earth. We pray for peace and  justice

We pray for all the families who have suffered injustice at the hand of others.

We pray for those who live without peace, those who fear for their own lives or the lives of their loved ones.

We pray for those prophets who exercise their right to protest; who demand justice and direct our eyes to where injustice lives in society. We pray for strength and their safety.

We pray for ourselves--that we will see and repent of the sins of prejudice and discrimination, where we see it in others and in ourselves.

Today, we pray for peace and justice to break through on earth among all God's children.  Amen.
