INTERFAITH PRAYER FOR PEACE

In the name of God

most gracious and merciful.

You are the one. 

We praise and worship you.

You are the creator of all people.

Teach us to put away

all bitterness and misunderstanding,

all hatred and prejudice

that we may grow as one family.

Unite the hearts of your people

and grant us strength to serve you.

Guide our steps so that all people

in our country and our world

may be united

in love, justice and peace.
