Pray for peace

Pray for peace (Psalm 122:6; NLT). 

Lord,
I pray for peace
Throughout the world –
With water, food, homes, land
And care for all.

Lord,
I beg for justice
Here, on earth –
May everyone with power
Hear your call.

Lord,
I seek equality
For all –
May humankind be free
To learn and grow.

Lord,
I plead for love
In every heart –
For neighbour, stranger, foreigner
And foe.

Love your enemies (Matthew 5:44; NLT).

Reference

I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity (1 Timothy 2:1-2; NLT).
