Prayer for Syria

Praying for Syria

Help us, O Lord, to look with compassion upon those whose families and homes are ever being torn apart, uprooted, terrorized, or emblazoned with injustice. Help us show that compassion to all people of this world who live with unrest and hopelessness as their constant companions. 
Lord, in your mercy.
Hear our prayer.

A Prayer for the Human Family

                                                                 For the Human Family

O God, you made us in your own 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.
