A Prayer For World Love


Eternal Father, with so much bitterness abroad in the world – this poor bleeding world, stumbling from blunder to blunder, hollow with graves, hard with hate – may we who own the name of Christ, shed abroad Your Love.
We pray for a deeper vision of the needs of all mankind, and a deeper compassion to fill those needs; for a planting of the seeds of concern for all humanity in our hearts; for a tapping of the wells of generosity.
Help us to live together as people who have been forgiven a great debt.
Help us to be gentle, walking softly with one another.
Help us to be understanding, lest we shall add to the world’s sorrow or cause to flow one needless tear.
Help us to stand for what is right.
help us to be eager to forgive others as we are to seek forgiveness.
Help us to know no barriers of creed or race, that our love may be like Yours.

God help us to be ministers of mercy and ambassadors of kindness for Jesus’ sake.

Amen.
