May you guide us to a better place, O God. There is so much death and destruction in the world. There are too many people who are living under the threat of bombardment and starvation in the world. Help us find a way to peace. Let the leaders in conflict with one another find a way to heal the divisions that exist. Let us look to ways to support and feed those in need and heal the sick in those war torn areas. May your peace which passes understanding abide in all of us and guide our actions. Amen
