Today's Prayer...

Today’s Prayer:
God of all peace and conciliation,
For those who went into danger, we give thanks.
For those who remained behind with the infirm and injured, we give thanks.
For those who thought of others first, we give thanks.
For those who offered comfort to others, we give thanks.
For moments of unknown, grant us courage.
 
In times of fear, grant us courage.
When called upon to stand for the rights of others, grant us courage.
When others call for our destruction, grant us courage.
When the enemies of freedom lash out, bless us with your peace
When the darkness of hatred descends, bless us with your peace
When we feel the urge to trample and destroy, bless us with your peace
When we look to the future of your universe, bless us with your peace
Through the living of life, let us be your peace
Amen!
(Adapted from a prayer by Rabbi Matt Friedman)
