Dear God,

How can we truly love if our hearts are filled with hatred and bitterness?  How can we ever find peace with so much chaos swirling within?

I look at our world where so much hatred and bitterness is present.  Daily killings of powerless people make me wonder how we will ever be able to lay down our weapons for peaceful lives for all.  Even though my own life may be peaceful at any given moment, how can I truly live in my peace when I know so many people live in fear?

Compassionate God,
show us
the way
to true peace.
Show us how
to love
one another.
Teach us tolerance,
understanding, and mercy
so we
may contribute peace
to all
the world's people.

Love, Andrea
