Universal Peace Prayer

Lead me from death to life,
from falsehood to truth.
Lead me from despair to hope,
from fear to trust.
Lead me from hate to love,
from war to peace.
Let peace fill my heart, my world, my universe.
Amen.

Oh, thank you--just what I needed to pray today.

I love the Marty Haugen song setting of this too.

Please support me in prayer as I prepare a presentation for a medieval conference--one week from today!

I think I am going to use this in my sermon...maybe...the sermon doesn't exist yet, but it will eventually...and I hope this makes it in....

Thank you for both words and image. I'm struggling with how much time I spend inside and craving nature.

Please pray for my cousin Miriam and her newborn baby girl. The baby is healthy and beautiful. We almost lost her mother today, though. They tell me she is going to be okay, but she is currently in ICU at a separate hospital from her daughter. How hard for both of them to spend their first night apart!

Preacher Mom, you and she have my prayers.
