Today in our prayers for the people of Saint Kitts and Nevis.

Prayer for Peace

Charles Curry

There are so many ways that we divide ourselves from one another: politics, theology, economics, and culture, and these are only a few of the many. It seems that we can manage to be in conflict about nearly everything.

Yet, there are also so many ways that we are drawn together: the compassionate response of thousands of individuals to hurricanes; the coming-together of neighbors and friends in response to a bombing.

Help us to choose to remember and practice drawing together. Help us to not be paralyzed by the divisive.

Help us to seek you when we are faced with the difficult questions

Help us to see the value and efforts of others who serve in your behalf, especially from those who are not like us.

Help us remember through Communion, that we are the body of Christ…your hands and feet; your heart and mind…that we may be about your peace.
