Prayer of Remembrance
Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, we remember with thanksgiving those who made the supreme sacrifice for us in time or war. We pray that the offering of their lives may not have been in vain.
May your grace enable us this day to dedicate ourselves to the cause of justice, freedom and peace; and give us the wisdom and strength to build a better world, for the honour and glory of your Name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
Prayer for Peace
Father of all, we are your family; and you call us together to live as brothers and sisters. Help us to overcome the barriers that divide people and nations one from another.
Bless every effort being made to bring peace and understanding to the world. So that we may learn Your ways and serve Your will. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
A Prayer for Those Who Suffer Because of War
Father of mercies and God of all comfort, whose Son ministered to those in need: We pray for all those who suffer through the wars of nations, by loss of home or faculties, by loss of friends and loved ones, by loss of happiness or security or freedom.
We pray for those whose hearts are still bitter, and find it difficult to forgive. Comfort their hearts, uphold their faith and grant them peace through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
