Prayer for America 10/24/05

United Nations Day

Admittedly I don’t have much faith in the United Nations. Perhaps with Bolton there...things will change. IMO under Kofi Annan the United Nations is corrupt and obstreperous. However, I DO believe in the power of prayer so...

Since you formed us all as your children, O God, and not as separate nationalities, you must have been pleased when we came together as nations united. Help us to see ourselves as one whole, not many parts. Let the United Nations be a living symbol of your unity, of our kinship as human beings, of cooperation for the good of all people. Prevent us from making distinctions between rich and poor, powerful and humble, at war or at peace.

Hold before us the vision of one world, one people; give strength to those in the United Nations who work to bring about that vision. Guide them as they deal with war and rumors of war. Help those leaders hear the many voices of the international community as one voice; help them work as one body for peace with justice in all parts of the world. Amen.
