All our days Father, we try our best. We try to do what is right for our families, our communities, our country, our world. We are your children and because You are made of Love, we are also. We try to do what is best, but we may not always hit the mark. Forgive us, Father for our shortcomings. Thank you for the gift of wisdom from experience, thank you for our lessons of patience. Please Father, let the immense sufferings of our brothers and sisters free us from all arrogance and all judgments and condemnations, and give us a heart as gentle and humble as the heart of Jesus. “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.” (Colossians 3:15)

Let there be Peace in this world, Father. Let us recognize one another as family and appreciate our differences as beautiful aspects of You and not be threatened. May we learn to Love and tolerate and work together as Jesus asked us to do. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.” (Colossians 3:16)

May we rise to live with greater wisdom. May we demand and uphold Peace in our world. May we create beautiful works in honor to your name in cooperation and love with one another. May we re-dedicate ourselves to soothing all wounds and ending all suffering. Bless us Father, with the gifts of greater wisdom so that we may transform our world into a treasure of our Love for You. “Those who have put their trust in God will come to understand the truth of his ways. Those who have been faithful will live with him in his love, for he is kind and merciful to the ones whom he has chosen.” (Wisdom 3-9)

In Christ’s name,

Amen.
