FROM THE ALTERNATIVE
SERVICE BOOK (1980)
Almighty Father,
Whose will is to restore all things
In your beloved Son, the king of all:
Govern to hearts and minds of those in authority
And bring families of the nations,
Divided and torn apart by the ravages of sin,
To be subject to his just and gentle rule;
Who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
One God, now and forever.

To live in unity and harmony.
And yet we are divided:
Race from race,
Faith from faith,
Rich from poor,
Old from young,
Neighbor from neighbor…

O Lord, by whose cross all enmity is brought to and end,
Break down the walls that separate us,
Tear down the fences of indifference and hatred;
Forgive us the sins that divide us,
Free us from pride and self seeking,

Overcome our prejudices and fears,
Give us courage to open ourselves to others;
By the power of your Spirit make us one.

PRAYER FROM JAPAN
God our Father, Creator of the world,
Please help us to love one another.
Make nations friendly with other nations;
Make all of us love one another like brothers and sisters.
Help us to do our part to bring peace in the world
And happiness to all people.

BY GEORGE APPLETON
O God of many names
Lover of all nations
We pray for peace
In our hearts
In our homes
In our nations
In our world.
The peace of your will
The peace of our need.

FROM “PRAYER AT NIGHT”
O just and holy God, you have brought us peace by making the many
peoples
Into one people, Jew and Gentile, slave and free, male and female,
black and white.
We pray for those places where peoples are kept apart because of
the color of their skin. Help us to root out discrimination in our hearts
that we may welcome every stranger in our midst as a fellow citizen, a
neighbor and a friend of God.

PRAYERS FOR PEACE,
WEEK OF PRAYER FOR
WORLD PEACE
God of all grace, call to the nations of the earth to cease from strife, that all
May join to fight not one another but their common foes of want and
ignorance, disease and sin.
Lead back mankind out of the way of death into the way of life; and from
destruction to the building up of a new world or righteousness and peace, of liberty
and joy.
End the dark night of lies and cruelty, bring in the dawn of mercy and truth.

FROM BAPTIST PEACE
FELLOWSHIP
Gracious Father,
We pray for peace in our world;
For all national leaders
That they may have wisdom to know and courage to do
What is right;
For all men and women
That their hearts may be turned to yourself
In the search for righteousness and truth;
![Page 11: The Lion Book of Family Prayers for The indigo Drum Peace Projet](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042512/55a3f14b1a28ab2e168b4785/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
PAGE 2
For those who are working to improve international relationships,
That they may find the true way of reconciliation;
For those who suffer as a result of war;
The injured and disabled,
The mentally distressed,
The homeless and hungry,
Those who mourn for their dead,
And especially for those who are without hope or friend to sustain them in their grief.
![Page 12: The Lion Book of Family Prayers for The indigo Drum Peace Projet](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042512/55a3f14b1a28ab2e168b4785/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A P R A Y E R O F T E N A S S O C I A T E D W I T H S T F R A N C I S O F A S S I S I
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon,
Where there is doubt, faith,
Where there is despair, hope,
Where there is darkness, light,
Where there is sadness, joy.

PAGE 2…
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console,
Not so much to be understood as to understand,
Not so much to be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
It is in dying that we awake to eternal life.

PAGE 3…
Father, we thank you for men and women in every age who have been
Prepared to struggle and risk their lives for the rights of others.
Thanks you for those whose actions have brought us freedom from
slavery, from despotism and from ignorance and disease. Help us forward
the work of all who still seek to bring such freedoms to women and men
and children the whole world over. For your sake. Amen.
![Page 15: The Lion Book of Family Prayers for The indigo Drum Peace Projet](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042512/55a3f14b1a28ab2e168b4785/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
J E W I S H P R AY E R
Have mercy, O God on all who are sorrowful,
Those who weep and those in exile.
Have pity on the persecuted and the homeless who are without hope;
Those who are scattered in remote corners of this world;
Those who are in prison and ruled by tyrants.
Have mercy on them as it is written by your holy Law,
Where your compassion is exalted!
![Page 16: The Lion Book of Family Prayers for The indigo Drum Peace Projet](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042512/55a3f14b1a28ab2e168b4785/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
FROM FURTHER EVERYDAY
PRAYERS
Lord, we pray for the victims of oppressors,
We pray for populations who are denied the freedom of political
debate and intellectual inquiry.
We pray for men and women in the prisons and camps of
oppressive regimes;
For those in solitary confinement,
For those who have been tortured,
![Page 17: The Lion Book of Family Prayers for The indigo Drum Peace Projet](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042512/55a3f14b1a28ab2e168b4785/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
PAGE 2
For those who have been imprisoned for many years.
We pray for the families of those who suffer,
For the children of the prisoners of conscience,
For wives and husbands whose years of marriage are spent in waiting
And in praying for the day when the prison doors will be opened.
We pray for all who daily remind us of their plight and whose vigilance knows
no rest.

FROM NEW EVERY
MORNING
Have mercy, O Lord our God, on those whom war or oppression
or famine have robbed of homes and friends and all those who try to
help them. We commend also to your care those whose homes are
broken by conflict and
lack of love; grant that where the love of man has failed; the divine
compassion may heal; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
