People all over the world pray for peace,
Lord, I pray for love.
I pray for understanding,
I pray for tolerance.
If all people desired to love each other, rather than simply to be loved,
If all people desired to understand others, rather than make others understand them,
If all people desired to tolerate differences in other, rather than make others tolerate them,
Then, perhaps, we could pray for peace,
And really hope to get it.
Lord, help us to see how our lack of understanding of others,
Keeps us from security for ourselves,
And create in us hearts to truly love, understand, and be tolerant of all others.
Amen.
