In a Time of Fear

Hear our prayers, O Lord,

   For the victims of bombings in Baghdad, Beirut and Paris;

   For the victims of past violence in Libya, Kenya and South Sudan;

   For those who go in harm's way on our behalf;

   For our leaders who strive to keep us safe from attack.

   Most of all, Most Loving God, these things we pray for, give us the grace to work toward ourselves, as we seek to follow your son, the Prince of Peace.  Amen.
