  PRAYER FOR PEACE
  Written by Bobbi Salkeld
  
  All over the world, in times past and present, there have been struggles for power and justice.

  In peace and in war, God, you are near.

  We know that there are countless women and men who have paid for that struggle with their bodies and lives.
  
  We do our best to remember those who were and are forever changed by violence, trauma, and death due to conflict and struggle.
  We lament the abuse of power, the disruption of community, and the fear of the other that tramples the vulnerable and ignores the cry for peace.

  In this moment of silence, we remember and lament together.
  
  [moment of silence]

  And now, we consider how we might take action to work for peace.
  
  If we have power, Jesus, show us how to share it.
  If we have peace, Jesus, show us how to uphold it.
  If we have resources, Jesus, show us how to share them.

  Together Lord we pray for peace, Amen.
