A Prayer for Strength and Confidence
Gracious God, only source of life and health: Help, comfort, and relieve all who still are trying desperately to cope with healing and loss, and give your power of healing to those who minister to their needs; that their weakness may be turned to strength and confidence in your loving care; for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (adapted from the Book of Common Prayer, pg. 459)
For the Human Family
O God, you made us in your image and redeemed us through Jesus your Son: Look with compassion on the whole human family; take away the arrogance and hatred which infect our hearts; break down the walls that separate us; unite us in bonds of love; and work through our struggle and confusion to accomplish your purposes on earth; that, in your good time, all nations and races may serve you in harmony around your heavenly throne; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (Book of Common Prayer, pg. 815)
In Times of Conflict
O God, you have bound us together in a common life. Help us, in the midst of our struggles for justice and truth, to confront one another without hatred or bitterness, and to work together with mutual forbearance and respect: through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (Book of Common Prayer, pg. 824)
