Prayer for peace

Prayer for Peace

We continue to pray for peace in the Middle East

This prayer has been posted by the Archbishop of Jerusalem Hosam Naoum

O God of all justice and peace,
we cry out to you in the midst
of the pain and trauma of violence and fear which prevails in the Holy Land.
Be with those who need you in these days of suffering;
we pray for people of all faiths –
Jews, Muslims and Christians
and for all people of the land.
While we pray to you, O Lord,
for an end to violence and the establishment of peace,
we also call for you to bring justice and equity to the peoples.
Guide us into your kingdom
where all people are treated
with dignity and honour as your children –
for to all of us you are our Heavenly Father.
In Jesus’ name we pray,
Amen.
