Prayer for peace in Syria
God of Compassion,
Hear the cries of the people of Syria,
Bring healing
to those suffering from the violence,
Bring comfort to those mourning the
dead,
Strengthen Syria’s neighbours in their care and welcome for
refugees,
Convert the hearts of those who have taken up arms,
And protect
those committed to peace.
God of Hope,
Inspire leaders to choose peace over violence and to seek
reconciliation with enemies,
Inspire the Church around the world with
compassion for the people of Syria,
And give us hope for a future of peace
built on justice for all.
We ask this through Jesus Christ,
Prince of Peace and Light of the
World,
Amen.
Petition: For the people of Syria, that God may strengthen the resolve of
leaders to end the fighting and choose a future of peace.
We pray to the
Lord…
+ Amen.

Perhaps St Michael's prayer as well for there are dark forces operating here.
ReplyDeleteFrereRabit, thank you Brother.
ReplyDeleteGervase, a sound suggestion.
Brian, dangerous times indeed. Many thanks.
Absolutely pray for our brother Christians.
ReplyDeleteI also pray and hope that President Obama does not do any retaliation on Assad.
There are bad people on both sides, but the worst are the rebels.
Diolch yn fawr Tito.
