God of wisdom and mercy, grant us patience to listen; compassion to be open to other views and opinions; generosity to forgive and grace to change. As you taught us to love our dear neighbor, we pray that you give us strength to be healing instruments of unity and reconciliation.

God of peace, change the hearts of those who abuse their military power and cause death, destruction and anguish across whole populations. Provide an offramp for aggressors to cease hostility and achieve a just peace.

Today I pray for the wisdom and willpower to move away from fossil fuels and plastics wherever possible. Help me make choices for simple living and sustainability that cares for our common home for generations to come.

God of abundance, You have provided all that we need. Help me make choices that prevent food deserts and encourage food security so that no communities face hunger. Enable me to share Your abundance.

Today I pray for those who are feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or alone, that they may find comfort, hope, and peace. May we be a source of compassion and encouragement to those around us, bringing God’s love to the world.
