Living with Christ Morning Prayer

Living with Christ Morning Prayer
Sunday, October 6, 2013 

Lord, we pray for the power to be gentle, 
the strength to be forgiving, 
the patience to be understanding
and the endurance to accept the consequences
of holding to what we believe to be right.
May we put our trust in
the power of good to overcome evil
and the power of love to overcome hatred.
We pray for the vision to see
and the faith to believe
in a world freed from violence,
a new world where fear
shall no longer lead people
to commit injustice
nor selfishness make them
bring suffering to others.
Help us to devote our whole
life and thought and energy
to the task of making peace,
praying always for the inspiration
and the power to fulfill the destiny
for which we have been created.
