Prayer for use at Sunday morning services
Across the city I know that we have all been praying about the current unrest and many have been involved in conversations aimed at peace–building. During worship on Sunday morning I invite you to pray the following prayer. The same prayer will be prayed in Presbyterian, Methodist and Roman Catholic Churches.
Together as the people of God we pray for this city.
God of love whose love streams unceasingly and relentlessly to all, we cry to you for our city.
We pray for peace on our streets, for economic well–being, for understanding across our differences.
Build us as one community, though diverse, that being reconciled to you we might be reconciled to one another.
Lord, turn our hearts to you that your glory might dwell in this city.
We pray this in the name of Jesus who is Lord of all. Amen.
