Mar 16, 2017 | Blog


Here are the prayers offered as gifts by those in attendance.

You are loved and valued! You are wanted in this community. I will stand with you!

Prayers for peace for all cultures. Prayers for safety for all cultures. Prayers for those who wish harm on others, who know no better.

Just being here is a prayer: a prayer for peace, a prayer for mutual respect, a prayer for love.

I may not be Muslim, but we are ALL Americans – and I will always stand with you.

You are my brothers and my sisters. May God shower you with blessings and keep you safe. May peace be with you.

Peace comes through us, revealing the face of God.

God, you send the sun and the rain on us all. The same air and water nourish us all. Help us love impartially as you do. Let us now be satisfied with complicity in injustice.

Stay strong. Know that you are welcome and loved. I believe that goodness and light will prevail.

Metropolitan Community Church have been burned out because of who we are. We pray that no worshipping community has to tell its worship leader, “Your worship space is on fire.” God keep all whose faith has meaning for them safe. Do not let hatred of “difference” destroy any of us. Let all live in faith. Amen.

Gracious God of Life and Mercy, thank you for this beautiful group of people gathered here today. May we be reminded of the power of love in our connectedness. Give us eyes to see the light present within each and every one of your children.   ~ Cheryl Hinnen, Assistant Pastor, East Lake United Methodist

My prayer is for people to get to know someone who is different from them so they can understand their struggles.

Gracious and Loving God, I pray for the safety and well-being of all our neighbors. May we understand that we are all neighbors deserving of justice, love, mercy and peace. May we honor you, one another, and the body of the Earth. Amen. ~ With love from Beloved Community Church

Prayers are necessary. We are a country of immigrants. We must live together or die apart. Welcome all our neighbors and would-be neighbors. Bring back freedom of the press – the last vestige of a free society. Please God – Bless us all.

May allah help us all. Ameen

O Allah, fill our hearts with limitless love for each other. O Allah, make us amongst the best of keepers of the brothers and sisters. ~ Khaula & Ayra, CAIR-AL

O’Allah, grant us all with peace in this life and the next. Amin.

May all children on earth live and love in peace.

Prayer especially to our leaders in South who know and practice importance of manners and gracious treatment of others. Please proactively teach our cruel bullying “leaders” to treat others as want to be treated.

God, help us to recognize and honor all of your children and our common humanity.

Our creator teach us and lead us to treat each other with love and respect to see each other as your children the same way you see us, God of all of us.

Dear God, May we learn to see each other and every human on the planet as your child created in your image.

A prayer for peace, unity and understanding among us. May we all be united in our love for the God of us all and in our love for one another.

I pray we lean as much into our faith to promote authentic peace. I pray I place my body close to those who feel physically unsafe.

I pray for love to outweigh evil.

Bless our earth.

Please sustain us in holy anger as we push back against the powers who target our brothers and sisters for threats, violence and discrimination.

Father of us all, we pray for those who differ from us in ideas, in class, in culture, that they may be understood by us and they may better understand us, so that we can unite in love and happiness, realizing we all need to live together in harmony and peace.

Allah who is merciful, help us unite in compassion and love.

I pray that God protect each of us who wish to live peacefully, respecting our personal faith and culture and that He will fill everyone’s minds with an open spirit and their hearts with love for their neighbor.
