Today's Theme: Prayer

Pray for peace.

Theme for the 6th day of the month:

Prayer takes us to the heart of relationship. It originates from a deep desire for connection and intimacy with the source of our faith. Through prayer, we communicate our needs and our gratitude. We express hope that spiritual forces, with wisdom beyond our own, will help guide us to peace. Today, and every day, prayers for peace are being spoken from every corner of the world.

Today’s theme acknowledges the value of uniting our prayers for peace. Peace prayers can be found among all the world’s religious and spiritual traditions. Through prayer, we affirm a partnership between human longing and divine intent to bring about peace in our hearts and homes, and in the world.

As we each say a prayer for peace today, imagine the strength of our collective prayers reaching around the world. There will be prayers for guidance and protection, prayers for healing and consolation, and prayers that peace and justice be realized on earth. There will be prayers for strength and sustenance and renewal, and prayers for divine intervention in circumstances of war, oppression, disaster, and violence. There will be prayers for peace in marriages and families, and prayers for parents and children. There will be prayers for nations and governments and world leaders. As we pray, we link our hearts. This builds the spiritual foundation of the rhythm of peace.

Today we invite intervention, grace, and mercy into our worldly challenges through our prayers. When we do this together, our collective prayers communicate our deep desire for peace and stream upward in unison from around the world.
