Lord, hear our prayer:
Lord, you have made us and loved us. You designed us to live in fellowship with you and with each other. May your infinite gentleness fill us with an assurance that you will hear us as we pray for your fallen, hurting world. Lord, we pray for this world in which so many people see you simply in terms of a remote power, a punishing God, someone to fear. We pray for those who are angry, who are filled with a desire for revenge; for those whose bitterness has destroyed their lives. We know you hear all our prayers and we agree that all thanks be to God on high.
Amen.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
