A Prayer for Wednesday, June 29, 2016

Istanbul

O God,

We mourn the people killed and pray for the people wounded by terrorists in the Istanbul airport.

Bless the families of those killed and injured in the attack. Give them the strength and comfort they need.

Work in the hearts and minds of those who plan and carry out such attacks that they might pursue their goals through peaceful means rather than through violent ones.

Help us all to live in peace and to work for peace in every way we can.

Especially help those of us who follow the One who told us to pray for our enemies, and who showed us how to do so, to do all we can to practice and to advocate for peace.

Amen
