Prayer for America 10/26/05

The roots of our nation are drawn from all the countries of the globe. Our land was shaped by the best the world could offer. Americans come from everywhere, and every one of us carries within our hearts and souls a memory of some other place, passed on from generation to generation. How can we not feel one with the whole world?

Lord, you understand us when we pray for peace on earth and goodwill among all people. Help all of us, everywhere, make peace with ourselves and each other. Help all of us, everywhere, overcome our struggles, confusion, and misunderstandings. Join us in love and friendship with our brothers and sisters from all continents so that we truly may be one world under one God, united in your name.
