As God’s beloved children united in Christ, let us pray for the church, the whole human community, and the well-being of the earth, our home.

Peacemaking God, the nations are in turmoil. We pray for an end to conflict among leaders around the world and within our nation.  End violence and restore trust and respect between nations and between people and their leaders. Give wisdom to negotiators and sanctuary to refugees. Defend any who are in danger.
