A Prayer for Peace

Prayer for Peace

Heavenly Father,
we come to You in deep humility to ask for the
gift of peace,
first in our hearts and then extending to our world.
We are all Your children, your creations.
You gave us the gift of life, yet there are those who wish to destroy this life.

You are the great
I AM.
You are the Almighty God.
You are the Creator of all.
We praise You and we adore You!

Heavenly Father,
we thank You for Your Love and Mercy in our very troubled world.
We see acts of inhumanity performed against our sisters and brothers.
We see nations war against nations.
We see brother killing brother, fathers killing their families, mothers killing their children.
We see nations destroying their own people.

For these grave sins,
we beg Your forgiveness.
We beg for your mercy, and we ask that you bring a sense of peace to our very
sick and troubled world.

We thank you for Your Love and Mercy, Abba, Father.  We thank You.

Heavenly Father,
we come again to ask You to spare our world Your justifiable wrath.
We are not worthy of Your Love and Goodness.
We are not worthy of Your Mercy.
We know this.
In the deepest humility,
and through the intercession of Your Most Beloved Son,
Jesus,
and the graces of the Holy Spirit,
and the intercession of the
Mother of God,
we ask You for the gift of peace in our hearts and in our world. 
We thank You,
Almighty God.
We Praise You,
Heavenly Father!
We ask for Your Mercy and Compassion.
We ask,
knowing that we cannot do this on our own,
that you grant us
Peace.

Amen.
