A Prayer for Peace

We are moulded, each one of us,

in the image of God,

and within our souls there is a fingerprint

none can erase.

We pray for those who have no regard

for anyone but self,

who put no value on human life.

For nations and individuals who abuse and kill.

We are not called to be judge or jury,

but we are called to be agents of change,

and if the butterfly that flaps its wings

should be our attitude to others

then so be it, Lord,

and may the hurricane this generates

somewhere within the world

reach into the hearts and souls of those

for whom we pray, and reveal to them

how precious are those

for whom they have no love,

and how precious are they

who now bring tears to the eyes of God.
